PETALING JAYA: Police have arrested a 22-year-old man believed to be involved in a series of vehicle break-ins around MRT stations in Kuala Lumpur, closing six such cases. Sentul OCPD Asst Comm Basri Sagoni said the suspect was detained at about 8.30pm in the Damansara area here on Saturday (Feb 21). He said the arrest followed a police report lodged by a 31-year-old woman at about 1pm on Tuesday (Feb 17). Checks revealed the suspect has six previous criminal offences and one drug offence on his record. "Investigations found that the suspect targeted parking areas at MRT stations and secluded locations, using ceramic fragments from a spark plug to shatter car windows before fleeing with valuables," ACP Basri said.
