KUALA LUMPUR: Police are searching for more members of the notorious Gang 360 Devan, said Bukit Aman CID director Comm Datuk Seri Mohmad Salleh.

He said police were still tracking down gang members although some were believed to have fled the country.

“We are still tracking the members. There will be more arrests in the future,” he said yesterday.

A group of 29 men, including a “Datuk”, believed to be members of Gang 360 Devan, were charged with taking part in organised crime at the Kajang Sessions Court yesterday.

The 45-year-old Datuk has been identified as Datuk M. Kalai Arasu.

The offence under Section 130V(1) of the Penal Code for offen­ces related to organised crime is punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

The gang is notorious for committing murders, extortions, kidnappings, armed robberies and drug trafficking, mostly around the Klang Valley.

Gang 360 Devan came into the spotlight when it began its reign of terror by murdering competitors, mainly from its arch-rival, the Satu Hati Gang, which is equally notorious for drug pushing, luxury car thefts and hijacking.
