Suspected drug traffickers nabbed in Melaka after 13km chase
Melaka Tengah OCPD Asst Comm Christopher Patit said the incident occurred at around 6pm on Tuesday (July 22) when a motorcycle patrol unit tried to stop a car at Taman Anika Apartments in Lorong Pandan here.
'The suspects sped off instead of complying, and my men gave chase,' he said on Wednesday (July 23).
He said the car was driven by a 26-year-old man, with his 28-year-old girlfriend in the front passenger seat.
"The man drove recklessly, ignoring red lights and endangering other road users.
"The chase ended at Taman Bukit Rambai, where the suspects suddenly reversed their vehicle and rammed a police motorcycle, causing minor injury to a lans koperal,' he said.
ACP Christopher said his men then detained the suspects with the help of five mobile patrol vehicle units.
'A search of the car uncovered two transparent packets believed to contain heroin, along with a weighing scale,' he added.
The suspects were taken to the Tengkera police station for further investigation and a remand order was obtained this morning, he said.
The case is being investigated under Sections 186 and 332 of the Penal Code for obstructing and causing hurt to a public servant, and under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 for trafficking. Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel for breaking news alerts and key updates!
