A cracked windscreen on a forestry department vehicle.

KOTA KINABALU: Two suspected poachers were arrested near the Rara Forest Reserve in Tawau, one day after they rammed through a roadblock mounted by the Forestry Department.

The suspects, a father-and-son Malaysian duo aged 25 and 51, came across the roadblock at about 6.30pm on Dec 29, but instead of stopping, rammed through a gate and hit two Forestry Department vehicles, narrowly missing two rangers on duty.
