SIBU:
A vegetable farmer and a jobless man are in police custody for causing mischief
by smashing the front windscreens of two cars.
Sibu OCPD Asst Com Stanley Jonathan Ringgit said in the first case, which
happened at 4.20am on Jan 1 at Jalan Bujang Suntong, the duo, who showed up in
a four-wheel drive, smashed the front windscreen of the complainant’s car.
Stanley said they did this because the victim, 22, had stolen their headphones.
Then
at 6.20am on Jan 3, in front of a petrol kiosk at Taman Indah, the two suspects
alighted from their four-wheel drive and smashed the windscreen of a car
belonging to another victim, 48.
“The victim was told that they did it as they were not happy he was
driving too slowly,” he added.
Stanley said at 1.20pm on January 3, a police team went to a house in Jalan
Teku to conduct a raid.
The 20-year old jobless suspect put up a struggle to resist police arrest.
This led to the arrest of the second suspect, a 36-year old vegetable farmer on
the same day from a house in Jalan Hock Ming.
Stanley said police believed the duo had cooked up stories for their actions.
He said the case is being investigated under Section 427 of the Penal Code for causing mischief which resulted in damaged property.
