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.

Op Lejang: Along Jap Gang busted for stealing old vehicles
KLANG: Police arrested four local men from the Along Jap Gang who are believed to be involved in the theft of old vehicles around South Klang from April 10 to 30. Selangor Deputy Police Chief DCP Mohd Zaini Abu Hassan said the suspects, aged between 25 and 40 who have been active since the end of last year, were arrested separately through Op Lejang. He said apart from South Klang, the suspects were also found to be active in stealing vehicles in North Klang, Shah Alam and Kuala Selangor by targeting old cars such as Perodua Kancil, Proton Iswara, Proton Iriz as well as motorcycles including Honda EX5 and Yamaha Y15. 'Also found along with the suspect were six vehicles including one car frame, six motorcycles and one frame. Checks revealed that all the suspects had 30 previous criminal records related to crimes, followed by 22 drug-related cases,' he said at a press conference at the South Klang District Police Headquarters here today. Mohd Zaini said investigations found that the stolen vehicles were not sold but were used daily by the suspects after changing the registration number and stealing other vehicles to get spare parts. He said the modus operandi of the group was to chance upon the negligence of the public who left their keys on vehicles to commit crimes and only used basic techniques to steal the vehicles. 'With this arrest, police believe they have successfully solved eight cases of theft of motorcycles and nine old vehicles in the South Klang area and nearby districts,' he said. Mohd Zaini said the suspect was found to be positive for methamphetamine-type drugs and the case was being investigated under Section 379A of the Penal Code.
