KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 12 — Two local men arrested following a police chase along Jalan Wangsa 5, Bukit Antarabangsa heading towards the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) in Hulu Kelang here yesterday, were found to be in possession of sharp weapons, cable-theft equipment, and drugs inside their vehicle.
Ampang Jaya District Police Chief ACP Khairul Anuar Khalid said both suspects were apprehended when their Isuzu Dmax vehicle was intercepted at the junction of Jalan Jelatek and Jalan Taman Setiawangsa near the Caltex station in Setiawangsa.
