SHAH ALAM : Police have detained a senior citizen allegedly found in possession of firearms and ammunition without a licence, and for using the Perak royal family's emblem on his vehicle. Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said the 69-year-old man was detained during a raid at a house in Hulu Selangor yesterday afternoon following a tip-off. 'An inspection uncovered three firearms, four Airsoft guns, one taser gun, a .22/5.5M caliber rifle and 162 rounds of ammunition,' he said. Hussein added that police found no records showing the suspect had received any royal titles or honours related to the Perak royal family. The suspect, who has no prior criminal record, has been remanded for six days until April 27 under Section 7 of the Firearms (Increased Penalties) Act 1971, Sections 36 and 8(a) of the Arms Act 1960 and Section 5 of the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act 1963 (Amendment 2016). Hussein said police were tracking down an individual believed to be an acquaintance who had supplied the man with the firearms. Meanwhile, police have arrested two men believed to have been hired by a loan shark syndicate from Singapore. Hussein said the two suspects were detained in raids on April 8 and 9 following a report of a fire that broke out at the front of a house occupied by a 29-year-old man in Ampang last month. He said police also seized various items including two mobile phones, two bank cards, three bags containing fire debris and a threatening note. 'Investigations revealed that the suspects had known each other through social media since January,' Hussein said. 'They were said to have been paid RM1,000 to RM1,500 for arson attacks and RM600 to RM900 to smear paint.' Hussein also said the suspects' mobile phones showed seven other similar incidents in Johor, Perak and Negeri Sembilan. In a separate case involving a robbery at a daycare in Sabak Bernam last Monday, Hussein said two men in their 30s had been arrested. He said both suspects tested positive for drugs and had prior records for drug and robbery offences.
