THREE who tried to escape from police inspection were detained after the car they were travelling in skidded into a monsoon drain near Taman Sri Nanding in Hulu Langat yesterday.

Cheras district police chief Muhammad Idzam Jaafar said the police anti-crime patrol team had spotted the suspicious-looking fully tinted Perodua Bezza in Jalan Cheras at 5.15pm.

“When asked to stop for inspection, the driver refused and sped off.

“Three police patrol cars were mobilised to give chase as the suspects headed towards Kajang before they finally skidded.

“There were four suspects in the car, aged between 20 and 36, but one escaped on foot and efforts are being done to track him down,” he said in a statement here today.

Idzam said the three who were arrested were tested positive for drugs and have past criminal records. – Bernama, June 16, 2021.
