PUTRAJAYA, March 31 — A dramatic police chase at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) yesterday ended with the arrest of a local man who has 31 prior criminal records.
KLIA police chief ACP M Ravi said the 30-year-old suspect rammed five public vehicles while fleeing from a mobile patrol vehicle (MPV) around 4.30 pm.
“MPV personnel conducting crime prevention patrols tried to stop a red Honda Civic, but the driver refused to pull over and attempted to flee towards the KLIA terminal at Level 3,” he said. The suspect was apprehended near the scene.
Checks revealed the man also has one outstanding drug-related offence. He is being investigated under Sections 186 and 427 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant and committing mischief, as well as Section 15(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and related traffic offences.
The suspect will be brought before the Sepang Court today for a remand application.
A video of the high-speed chase went viral on social media yesterday, drawing widespread public attention.
