Three held for thefts of four-wheel drives
Three men, who are suspected to be members of a syndicate specialising in stealing four-wheel drives, were arrested recently.
The suspects, all aged 27, were believed to be responsible for the thefts of 16 vehicles reported in the district.
Also recovered upon the arrests of the suspects were four four-wheel drives which were reported stolen.
Johor police chief Datuk Mokhtar Shariff said suspects' modus operandi was to steal the vehicles from one state and move them to states in the east coast before transporting them to neighbouring countries on rural roads.
Mokhtar urged the public to be wary of anyone who wants to dispose of vehicles below the market price to conduct thorough checks, or they may find themselves in possession of stolen goods.
