The Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) doesn’t seem to hamper criminal activities as the police had to fire a few rounds at a vehicle in an attempt to arrest a man suspected of distributing drugs on Jalan Sentul last night.
Acting on a tip-off, the police initially asked the suspect, a 38-year-old man, to step out of his vehicle before the he stepped on the gas and rammed an unmarked police car while trying to reverse his Proton Saga.
Then, in a scene straight out of a Hollywood action movie, the police shot several rounds at the vehicle in an attempt to stop the escape.
Police fired several rounds of shots at the rear right-hand tyre and front tyre but the suspect still tried to flee by driving up the curb. Police then shot the left front tyre and the car came to a stop. Police immediately arrested the suspect.

He will be investigated according to Sections 39B and 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952
