Police in Johor have reportedly broken a luxury car theft syndicate in Senai with the arrests of seven people, including a married couple.
A New Straits Times report quotes police as saying that they seized a ‘master key’ used to deactivate security systems within these cars.
“Also seized was a device used like a master key that would deactivate the stolen vehicles’ security system. Wire cutters likely used to start the car before they fled with the vehicles were also seized,” Johor police chief Datuk Wan Ahmad Najmuddin Mohd was quoted as saying.
He told the daily that six luxury cars, collectively worth over RM1 million were seized separately in Taman Anggerik, Kempas on Wednesday.
According to the report, the five men and two women aged between 21 and 41 alleged stole foreign luxury cars from shopping mall parking areas.
The suspects have reportedly been remanded for four days.
