Cops probing viral video of objects thrown on Segamat roads


SEGAMAT: Police have urged those with information about sharp objects allegedly being thrown onto several roads here to come forward, following a viral social media post.

Segamat OCPD Supt Mohd Jumazanzahir Chek Ismail said no police reports have been lodged so far despite the circulation of a video showing the act.

“We are still waiting for those with details or information on the incident to come forward and lodge reports,” he said, adding that police came across the video at about 11.45pm on Sunday (March 15).
