Recently, in the Malaysian edition of Fast and Furious, a couple led police on a 130km high-speed chase before being arrested at the Johor Bahru-Ayer Hitam highway.
According to Johor Bahru Selatan police chief Raub Selamat, at 11.30 p.m., police officers on patrol spotted the 20-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman in a Proton Persona parked at the Adda Height recreation area.
“When they approached the vehicle, the suspects reversed the car and crashed into a police multipurpose vehicle before speeding off.
“A total of six MPVs from the Johor Bahru Selatan police headquarters (IPD) and four MPVs from the Johor Bahru Utara IPD also assisted in the chase, which ended at KM76.6 of the Johor Bahru-Ayer Hitam highway where the couple was arrested,” he said in a statement yesterday.
The couple is thought to have fled because they were the only ones in the car and were startled to see the police patrol car coming, according to preliminary investigations, said Raub.
The Proton Persona, a phone, and RM168 in cash were also seized by the police.
“They have been ordered by the Johor Bahru magistrates’ court to be remanded under Section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code for four days from today,” he said, adding that the case is being investigated under Section 186 of the Penal Code and Section 42 of the Road Transport Act 1987 (for driving recklessly).
Earlier, a one-minute and 15-second video clip had gone viral on Facebook showing several police cars in hot pursuit of a Proton Persona in Jalan Skudai here.
