Notorious gang busted

BY LOURDES CHARLES

KUALA LUMPUR: The reign of one of the most notorious gangs in the city ended yesterday when police arrested four gang members after a high-speed car chase through the city and an hour’s stand-off when they took two women hostage in a house in Jalan Ampang.

The crack Special Action Squad burst into the house and rescued the two women and arrested three of the gang members.

One of the suspects had earlier been detained after he was shot while trying to make a get-away.

City CID chief SAC (II) Datuk Karn Kam Peng said his officers who were on rounds spotted four men fitting the description of the wanted men along Jalan Tun Razak at about 3pm.

REIGN OVER: One of the four gang members being led away after a high-speed car chase. The gang, said to be responsible for a spate of armed robberies, was cornered at a used car dealer’s outlet in Jalan Ampang.

He said that when his men approached the suspects, they sped off, resulting in a car chase.

An integrated police team comprising the Police Air Wing, Mobile Patrol Vehicles, Serious Crimes division, intelligence unit, and the dog unit swung into action and cornered the suspects at a used car outlet in Jalan Ampang.

The gang was believed to have committed several armed robberies at used car dealers, 4-digit outlets and shoplots all over the Klang Valley.

“The suspects tried to speed off but were caught in a traffic jam in Jalan Damai off Jalan Ampang. Our men were kept informed of their movements by our Rakan Cop members,” he said.

“The suspects drove their car into a used car outlet to hide.

“When our team arrived, they abandoned their car and fled on foot and even ignored a warning shot fired by a policeman.”

When one of them tried to scale a wall to escape, one of the policemen opened fire, hitting him in the leg.

The others fled into a nearby house. They held two of the women in the house hostage as the police team surrounded the place.

After about an hour’s stand-off, the crack team stromed the house and overpowered the three.

SAC Karn said police believe they were responsible for robbing a couple of cash and valuables worth more than RM200,000 two days ago.

In a follow-up operation, he said, police seized two cars and several watches believed to belong to the gang's victims.The cars will be sent to the forensic laboratory to ascertain if they were stolen
