KUALA LUMPUR, April 8 — Police have detained 12 men to assist in investigations into a riot and mischief at an entertainment centre in Cheras here last Sunday.

Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Datuk Fadil Marsus said several vehicles believed to have been used in the incident were also seized, including a lorry that was used to ram the premises’ main gate.

He said all suspects had been arrested and remand applications had been made to facilitate further investigations.

“So far, 12 male suspects have been arrested and remand applications have been submitted to enable further investigations to be carried out,” he said in a statement yesterday.
