PETALING JAYA: A suspected gang member was arrested in SS19, Subang Jaya, on Tuesday, just hours after he abducted a man in Puchong.
Subang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Wan Azlan Wan Mamat (pic) said the victim, who was with the 32-year-old suspect, was rescued during the police operation at 10pm.
He said the victim was found to have suffered minor injuries from the incident.
ACP Wan Azlan said the suspect, who has a criminal record and a tattoo of an outlawed secret society, was remanded for investigation for four days.
“Preliminary investigation showed that the motive of abduction is related to debts,” he told reporters.
Police are on the lookout for three accomplices of the suspect who remain at large.
The case is being investigated for abduction and causing hurt.
A video of the abduction was circulated on social media on Tuesday, which shows four men pulling off the abduction with a small bonded lorry by a road shoulder in Jalan Persiaran Puchong at about 6.30pm.
The victim, who was bundled onto the lorry, attempted to break free but is seen being assaulted repeatedly in the brief video clip.
ACP Wan Azlan urged those with information to contact Insp Dinesh Ganasan at 011-3309 4457 or the Subang Jaya police at 03-7862 7100.
The case is being investigated under Section 323 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt, which carries a jail term of up to one year or a fine of up to RM2,000.
