15-year-old arrested for stealing black pepper sauce, mayonnaise worth RM41 in Jempol
JEMPOL: A 15-year-old teenager has been arrested by police on suspicion of stealing two packets of black pepper sauce and two packets of mayonnaise worth RM41 from a supermarket in Bandar Seri Jempol. District police chief Superintendent Norhisham Mustapar said the incident took place at 7pm last Friday. He said the suspect was initially detained by the supermarket's security guard after staff noticed the teenager frequently entering and exiting the premises while carrying a sling bag. "A married couple claiming to be the suspect's parents asked the security guard to release him, which then led to a scuffle with the guard. "The couple and the suspect later fled the scene in a Toyota Avanza," he said in a statement. Norhisham said police managed to arrest the suspect at about 1pm today. "Preliminary investigations showed the suspect is still a student. He has been released on police bail after his statement was recorded. "The investigation papers will be referred to the deputy public prosecutor soon to decide on the next course of action. "The case is being investigated under Section 380 of the Penal Code for theft in a building and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955," he added.
