KUALA LANGAT, May 10 — Police have arrested four local men suspected of stealing oil palm fruits in Kanchong Darat here after their activities were allegedly caught on closed-circuit television (CCTV), according to Sinar Harian.
Kuala Langat police chief Supt Mohd Akmalrizal Radzi said police received a report at about 6.30pm on Friday from a local man regarding two suspicious vehicles seen in an oil palm plantation area.
“Checks on CCTV footage found four suspects allegedly stealing oil palm fruits and loading them into the vehicles involved.
“Police later arrested all four suspects and seized items linked to the case,” he said in a statement this morning.
He said the suspects, all locals in their 20s and 30s, are being investigated under Section 379 of the Penal Code for theft.
Mohd Akmalrizal added that investigations are ongoing and urged those with information to contact the Kuala Langat district police headquarters operations room at 03-31872222 or visit the nearest police station.

In a post on its official Facebook page, the committee said the thefts had been going on for some time and had caused unease among local smallholders.
