Suspended Lance Corporal suspected to be car thief!
KUALA LUMPUR: Suspended from work for drug-related offences, a lance corporal supplemented his income with a string of wayside robberies in Setapak and Wangsa Maju.
His robbery spree came to an end on Thursday when the policeman and an accomplice were arrested by Sentul policemen on crime prevention rounds in Taman Sri Rampai.
The suspects, both aged 25, were nabbed about 11.30pm after they were found with a knife and a pair of handcuffs when searched by the police.
A motorcycle, which had been reported stolen in Ampang last year, was also seized from them.
The men have been remanded until Tuesday to facilitate investigations.
Sentul police chief Assistant Commissioner Zakaria Pagan said at least five cases of wayside robberies in the Setapak and Wangsa Maju area had been solved with the duo's arrest.
The robbers normally approached their victims and identified themselves as policemen before robbing them.
FILE PICTUREThanks to a reader, this blog has been informed that there are wheel stealers near the LRT station at Section 2. Several motorists who left their cars there came back from work to find the wheels of their cars missing.
Can we hope that the LRT operators beef up the security in the area? Already, there are CCTV cameras in Section 2. How about the LRT operator mounting some from the LRT beams to keep an eye on the cars of your customers? This is good customer service and will encourage more to take your LRT to work instead.
There have also been several car thefts in Taman Seri Rampai as well, as we have been informed. If you have any notifications to tell us, please write to us or put your commen here. let's work together for the security of Wangsa Maju P116!

thanks for posting this! :D
I still do park there eventhough I know there's possiblity of losing my wheels. now it has been the 2nd week. at the moment, none of the wheels of cars parked there has been stolen yet. so I guess it must be some occasionally done. or a schedule of which LRT to go for each week. haha. :)
There were 2 reported cases of wheel theft at Jalan Seri Wangsa, the road leading to Villa Wangsamas, the new condo between Rampai Court & Carre4, off from main road Jln 34/26. The culprit came at night to steal the wheels from the cars parked outside the condo. Now, the condo security guard were also directed to round the area as well.
