District police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Khairi Shafie said the Bangladeshi and Myanmar nationals were detained along Jalan Datuk Keramat after acting suspiciously during a routine patrol around 6.10pm. "Both men, aged between 20 and 30, tried to flee when approached but were caught shortly after," he said in a statement today. During the inspection, one of the suspects allegedly offered cash to the officers.
