GOMBAK (Bernama): The police have thwarted gas tank theft syndicate around Gombak, with the arrest of five gang members on Friday (May 1).

Gombak OCPD Asst Comm Arifai Tarawe said all the detainees were between 26 and 40 years old and the group had targeted laundry outlets, child care centres and restaurants.

He said the arrests were made following a police report over the loss of 20 gas tanks in a burglary, at a restaurant in Taman Industri Bolton, here, at 8am, last Thursday. "Based on CCTV footage at the location, three men were seen loading some gas tanks into a Nissan Vanette van before escaping. "We mounted an operation and managed to hunt down three men on the same day the report was lodged. Following that, two other suspects were detained at Selayang Baru yesterday,” he told reporters here today."We believe we will be able to solve 14 burglary cases, involving laundry shops, child care centres and restaurants, related to this group’s activities,” he said.

The suspects are on a five-day remand and case is being investigated under Section 457 of the Penal Code for house break-in.- Bernama
