SEPANG: A 20-year-old suspect who was arrested last week in connection with the serial molestation of female shoppers at the Tamarind Square shopping mall in Cyberjaya is expected to be charged in court on Wednesday.
Sepang police chief ACP Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof (pix) said today that the food delivery rider of a e-hailing company will face two separate charges at the Sepang under section 354 of the Penal Code for allegedly outraging the modesty of two of his victims at the mall.
On April 5 at about 2pm, two women aged 27 and 34 were groped by a man just 15 minutes apart in separate attacks at the mall.
The suspect escaped but close-circuit cameras at the mall captured images of him, aiding police in tracing and nabbing the suspect within 24 hours after the assaults.
Police said the suspect was also responsible for another similar case involving a 31-year-old housewife also at the mall in Dec last year.
Police also said the suspect who is believed to suffer from a mental health disorder has past criminal records for possession of stolen goods and motorcycle theft.
