KUALA LUMPUR: Police yesterday arrested three men on suspicion of being involved in a criminal intimidation case against a waiter at a restaurant in Petaling Jaya.
Petaling Jaya District Police Chief, ACP, Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal, said that during the Tuesday night incident, one of the suspects, 22, posed as a policeman and threatened the victim with a gun.
He said it happened when the victim did not know the details of the restaurant’s regular customer with the title ‘Datuk Seri’ when asked by the suspect.
“The suspect then acted aggressively by pointing the gun at the victim and claimed he was a policeman,” he said in a statement today.
Nik Ezanee said that according to a report received yesterday, police arrested the 22-year-old suspect and his two friends, 19 and 51, in Petaling Jaya around 2:30 p.m.
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.
Nik Ezanee said that all the suspects, who work as food delivery men, were arrested in Kampung Sungai Ara, Petaling Jaya and have been detained for seven days to assist in the investigation under Section 375 (B) of the Penal Code.
