JOHOR BAHRU: Police have arrested four men suspected of setting off firecrackers on a road near the Taman Nesa traffic lights in Skudai on Nov 8.
Johor Bahru North district police chief ACP Azrol Anuar Nor said the arrests were made following the circulation of a video clip of the incident on social media the same day.
He said the suspects, aged between 16 and 25, were arrested in the Skudai area at about 7.30 pm, with several items seized during the operation.
“Checks revealed that none of the suspects have prior criminal records, and their preliminary urine screening tests returned negative results.
“They have been brought to court, where a three-day remand order was granted, effective today, to facilitate further investigation,” he said in a statement today.
Earlier, a 29-second video clip showing firecrackers being set off at the location went viral.
