Abandoned baby discovery exposes incest case, three arrested
KAJANG: Police have arrested three people, including a man who falsely claimed to have discovered a newborn baby girl in a box near a petrol station in Batu 14, Hulu Langat, on Sunday. District police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Naazron Abd Yusof said the arrests, made yesterday evening, followed investigations that revealed the baby was born from an incestuous relationship between a 39-year-old man and his 16-year-old daughter. "The complainant, a 29-year-old security guard, was actually in cahoots with the man. The so-called discovery was fabricated to conceal the birth," he said in a statement today. The teenage girl, who has stopped schooling, is believed to have given birth recently. The baby, found alive at 1.56am on Aug 11, was in good health and has been placed under hospital observation. Naazron said acting on information, police detained two men and one woman, aged between 16 and 39. "The two male suspects have been remanded for one and six days respectively, while the female suspect has been released on police bail and is receiving medical treatment," he said. The case is being investigated under Section 317 of the Penal Code for abandonment of a child and Section 376(3) for incest. "If convicted under Section 317, the offender faces imprisonment of up to seven years, a fine, or both. Section 376(3) carries imprisonment of between eight and 30 years and no fewer than 10 strokes of the cane," Naazron said. He urged anyone with information to contact the investigating officer, Inspector Mohd Hizwan Hamzah, at 019-6369835or the nearest police station.

TikTok video leads to arrest of Kajang bag thief
KAJANG: A 42-year-old man was arrested yesterday for stealing a bag from an unattended car with its doors left unlocked, following a viral TikTok video that prompted swift police action. The suspect, who was identified from the 27-second video clip uploaded by TikTok user @husnaiberahimm, was arrested in Bangi yesterday evening. In the video, an unidentified man dressed in black and wearing a helmet was seen stealing a bag from an unlocked car at 3.30pm on Wednesday. Kajang district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Naazron Abd Yusof said acting on intelligence and public tip-offs, police arrested the suspect in the Bangi area at 5.18pm yesterday. He said during the arrest, police also seized a Yamaha Y15 motorcycle and the man's clothing which he had worn while committing the crime. "The suspect admitted to stealing bags from parked vehicles that were left unlocked with the engine running. "Preliminary investigations revealed that he acted alone. His modus operandi was to target vehicles making quick stops. Once the driver stepped away, he would swiftly snatch valuables from inside the car without needing to break in," he said in a statement today. He added that checks showed the suspect, who is currently unemployed, has two prior criminal offences. "He has been remanded for three days until May 26 to assist with the investigation," he said. When asked whether the stolen bag and its contents had been recovered, Naazron said the matter is still under investigation. "The case is being investigated under Section 379 of the Penal Code for theft, which carries a maximum penalty of seven years' jail, a fine, or both." Naazron urged the public to remain vigilant and exercise caution, and not to leave valuables unattended in their vehicles. "We advise the public to always lock their vehicles and not leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running and doors unsecured, even if it's just for a while," he said. Anyone with further information or who may have been a victim of a similar incident may contact investigating officer Sergeant Norhafizah Mat Yusoff at 011-5453 9190 or the nearest police station.
