Thief abandons girlfriend-accomplice, while fleeing cops

KUALA LUMPUR: A suspected car thief won no awards for boyfriend of the year after he ran over his girlfriend and partner in crime, leaving her to the police in a bid to save himself.

"Spotting the police, the male suspect reversed his car, running over the woman. When ordered to stop, the suspect sped off," said Kuala Lumpur CID chief Senior Asst Comm Saiful Annuar Yusoff in a statement Tuesday.
