KOTA TINGGI - A motorcyclist who decided to run away when asked to stop for inspection by a motorcycle patrol unit (URB) personnel at Jalan Permai-Taman Sedeli yesterday has been arrested.

Kota Tinggi district police chief Superintendent Hussin Zamora said the incident happened at 11pm while the URB personnel found that the man in his 20s was riding a motorcycle without the front and back license plates.

Hussin said the rider was ordered to stop, but he had fled towards Kampung Teluk Jeri and crashed in front of a house near the location.

“No suspicious items were found after the URB personnel did a body search on the suspect.

“The suspect was then brought to the police station under the suspicion of drug abuse and the urine test found that the suspect was positive for heroine,” he said in a statement, today.

Hussin said three summonses were issued to the suspect for not wearing a helmet and for an offence involving the licence plate.

A 16-second video showing the suspect being chased by the URB personnel yesterday went viral on social media.
