HULU TERENGGANU: Police crippled a gang headed by a man who led a life of crime for the past 17 years and has been terrorising Hulu Terengganu residents recently.<\/p>\n
Hulu Terengganu OCPD Deputy Supt Mohd Adli Mat Daud said four men and a woman aged between 29 and 37 were arrested at a home in Telemong in an early morning raid on Wednesday (Aug 1).<\/p>\n
“We also seized five mobile phones and a car with a fake registration number,” he said at a press conference here Thursday.<\/p>\n
He said the group, notoriously known as Geng Dek, was arrested in connection with a robbery in Kuala Berang.<\/p>\n
In that incident on June 16, the gang had stopped a motorcyclist and his pillion rider who were on their way home.<\/p>\n
“The group stopped them about 400m from their destination by crashing their car into the motorcycle,” he said.<\/p>\n
The group then proceeded to hit the rider, injuring him in his face and head, and also tried to garrotte the pillion rider.<\/p>\n
“They managed to get away with the rider’s handphone,” DSP Mohd Adli said.<\/p>\n
The group is also believed to be responsible for other crimes including breaking and entering, as well as criminal intimidation, in June.<\/p>\n
“The gang is pretty well known around these parts and we believe the head has about a criminal record over 12 offences,” he said, adding that the gang leader has been committing crimes since 2001.<\/p>\n
All the suspects have been remanded for seven days from Aug 1 to help with investigations.<\/p>\n
All of them also tested positive for drugs.<\/p>\n
Separately, police also arrested a 28-year-old man for possession of a homemade gun.<\/p>\n
DSP Mohd Adli said the man obtained the weapon from a foreigner near Lake Kenyir, and is believed to be using it for illegal hunting.<\/p>\n
“The gun had been in his possession for about two years and we have sent it to the forensics unit for further tests,” he said, adding that the self-employed man has been remanded for three days.<\/p>\n
