A man with 31 prior criminal records was arrested after a police chase at KLIA, where he rammed five vehicles while attempting to flee from inspection.
PUTRAJAYA: A police car chase at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) has led to the arrest of a local man found to possess 31 prior criminal records.
KLIA police chief ACP M. Ravi said the 30-year-old suspect rammed several public vehicles while attempting to escape pursuit by a mobile patrol vehicle yesterday afternoon.
Personnel conducting a crime prevention patrol had attempted to stop a red Honda Civic for inspection, but the driver refused to pull over.
“The driver attempted to flee towards the KLIA terminal at Level 3, ramming five public vehicles along the route before being successfully apprehended near the scene,” Ravi said in a statement.
Checks revealed the man also has one drug-related offence, for which he remains wanted by police.
The case is being investigated under Sections 186 and 427 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant and committing mischief.
It is also being probed under 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 car chase between a police vehicle and a car at KLIA went viral on social media yesterday, shocking the public.
