KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Police have arrested two of three men suspected of involvement in an attempt to tow a woman's car at the Malaysian International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) last Friday (May 17) which went viral on social media. The three men tried to tow a Mazda car belonging to a woman after claiming the 32-year-old was behind on her loan payment by 19 months. Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim said the first arrest was made after a tow truck driver surrendered at 2.20pm on Tuesday (May 21), while his friend was detained at a hotel at 11.50pm on the same day. "While another suspect has not surrendered, we urge the individual to immediately surrender to assist in the investigation," he said in a media conference at the Kuala Lumpur Police Headquarters on Wednesday (May 22). He said the case was being investigated under Section 384 of the Penal Code for extortion.
