KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Police arrested three men on Friday (December 4) on suspicion of being involved in a case of criminal intimidation against a waiter at a restaurant in Petaling Jaya.
Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said that in the incident on Tuesday night (December 1), one of the suspects, 22, had posed as a policeman and threatened the victim with a gun false.
He said it happened when the victim did not know the details of the restaurant’s regular customer with the title of “Datuk Seri” when the suspect asked him.
“The suspect then acted aggressively by pointing the gun at the victim and claimed that he was a policeman,” he said in a statement on Saturday (December 5).
ACP Nik Ezanee said that according to a report received, the police arrested the 22-year-old suspect and his two friends, 19 and 51, in Petaling Jaya around 2.30pm.
Police also confiscated a fake pistol, an empty magazine, a Toyota Vios and a Toyota Velfire, as well as two mobile phones believed to have been used in the incident.
He said the main suspect admitted to being involved in the incident and that he had purchased the weapon via social media for RM1,030. His two friends denied any involvement.
The suspect was held in pre-trial detention for four days while his two friends were released on police bail and the case is being investigated under Section 170 of the Penal Code and Section 36 of the Weapons Act of 1960.
In another case, four men between the ages of 20 and 22, as well as two boys between the ages of 16 and 17, were arrested for allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl at a hotel in Petaling Jaya on Wednesday (December 2).
ACP Nik Ezanee said all the suspects, who work as food delivery men, were arrested near Kampung Sungai Ara, Petaling Jaya and detained for seven days to assist in the investigation under Section 375 (B) of the Penal Code.
“Two of the suspects have criminal records while the two children are school dropouts. The victim, who suffers from mental stress, is being treated at the University Malaya Medical Center,” he said.- Bernama
