PETALING JAYA : Three members of 'Geng Along Jep', a gang believed to be involved in vehicle thefts around Selangor, were charged in the Klang magistrates' court today with possessing and concealing stolen property.
Bernama reported that the charges were read separately before magistrates' court assistant registrar Wan Kushairi Wan Roslei against Tomi Andhika Kosnanto, 25, Haffi Mohamad, 40, and Razahin Zalan, 25.
Tomi and Haffi each faced two charges, while Razahin was charged with one count.
Tomi pleaded not guilty to a charge of robbing a 54-year-old woman of her car in Teluk Gadong Besar, Klang, on March 19.
The charge under Section 392 of the Penal Code for robbery carries a maximum jail term of 14 years and the offender is also liable to a fine or whipping upon conviction.
Tomi also claimed trial to a second charge of dishonestly concealing a stolen motorcycle in Taman Raja Uda on Dec 28, 2024. The offence under Section 414 of the Penal Code for assisting in concealment of stolen property provides for a jail term of up to seven years and a fine.
Meanwhile, Haffi pleaded guilty to two charges, one of concealing a stolen car at an apartment on Jalan Batu Nilam on April 11 and another of possessing a vehicle chassis on April 23.
He was charged under Section 414 of the Penal Code and Section 29(1) of the Minor Offences Act 1955, which carries a maximum jail term of seven years and a fine for the first offence, and a maximum fine of RM1,000 or imprisonment of up to two years or both for the second.
Razahin also pleaded guilty to a charge of concealing a stolen car in Kampung Rantau Panjang, Klang, on April 19. He was charged under Section 414 of the Penal Code.
Deputy public prosecutors Sulfie Abu Hassan and Nur Nadia Syuhada Rosli appeared for the prosecution, while all three accused were represented by National Legal Aid Foundation lawyer James Chan.
The prosecution offered bail amounts ranging from RM1,000 to RM7,000, but the defence appealed for lower bail, citing their clients' lack of stable income, dependency on their families and need to care for elderly parents.
The court later allowed bail between RM2,500 and RM6,000 for each accused and set case mention dates for June 11, 23 and 30.
