Twelve nabbed after criminal gang attack on entertainment outlet in Cheras


KUALA LUMPUR: Twelve men have been detained in connection with an attack at an entertainment outlet in Taman Shamelin.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Fadil Marsus said several vehicles were also seized.

"We are investigating the matter under Section 427 and 147 of the Penal Code," he said when contacted on Tuesday (April 7).

It was reported that a large group of masked men, believed to be linked to an underworld gang, stormed an entertainment outlet in Taman Shamelin, Cheras, on Sunday.

The incident came to light following a 1-minute-11-second video that has since gone viral, showing a large group — mostly dressed in black and armed — charging into the premises.

In the footage, a lorry is seen ramming through the main gate of the KTV outlet, damaging it before a group of individuals entered the compound through the breach.

The suspects were also seen carrying objects believed to be iron rods and wooden sticks as they made their way into the premises.

So far, the motive behind the incident remains unclear.

Several items within the KTV outlet were reported to have been damaged during the incident.
