Trader held for crashing into automatic parking barriers
KANGAR: A 62-year-old trader was arrested for allegedly vandalising three automated parking barrier machines at Jalan Seruling and Jalan Market in Kangar. He was detained in front of a bank on Jalan Raja Syed Alwi around 2.36pm yesterday, following a police report about the incident, believed to have occurred around 8.50am. The arrest was made based on information from a parking management company employee. District police chief Assistant Commissioner Yusharifuddin Mohd Yusop said police also seized a grey Nissan Navara pickup truck and its remote control during the arrest. He said the suspect, who operates a business on Jalan Seruling, admitted to the act out of dissatisfaction with the installation of the automated parking barrier system, which he claimed had seriously impacted his business and caused financial losses. The estimated damage is RM30,000. A two-day remand order, effective until tomorrow, was granted by Kangar Court Assistant Registrar Nur Syafina Aina Zamri after the suspect was brought to court at about 8.30am today. The investigating officer had initially requested a four-day remand, which was challenged in court. The suspect was represented by lawyers S. Devandran and Zuhair Ahmad Zakuan. The vandalism reportedly involved three automated barrier machines, two ANPR cameras, and three gate arms at several locations, including the exit behind the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) building and the entrance near Maybank. The case is being investigated under Section 427 of the Penal Code, which carries a penalty of up to two years' imprisonment, a fine, or both upon conviction.
