'With the arrest, we have successfully solved 25 cases of robbery, house break-in and launderette theft in Penang, with total losses and damages amounting to RM500,000,' he said. Before the shootout, a team from the state Criminal Investigation Department was on a crime prevention patrol when they came across a luxury car along Jalan Lintang Bukit Jambul, Bayan Lepas. 'The patrol team approached the car and identified themselves to the driver. He alighted from the car and started shooting at the police vehicle. 'The policemen were forced to open fire in self-defence. The man died at the scene,' he said, adding that the body had been sent to the Forensics Department at Penang Hospital. Comm Hamzah said the man had a record of 19 criminal offences and 15 drug-related crimes.
