REMBAU: A 65-year-old retired police sergeant was detained following a high-speed 50km pursuit after she allegedly crashed into two vehicles and fled the scene.
The cross-border chase, involving police teams from here and Melaka, ended with the suspect’s arrest along Jalan Bukit Beruang in Melaka.
Acting Rembau OCPD Deputy Supt Azmi Ali said the incident began in Taman Sedia Raja, Chembong, where the suspect’s car allegedly crashed into a van and another car.
“Rembau police received a call at about 10.30pm regarding the incident.
“A patrol unit dispatched to the scene spotted the vehicle and attempted to intercept it, but the driver refused to stop, triggering the pursuit,” he said in a statement.
DSP Azmi said police teams from Alor Gajah and Melaka Tengah were also involved.
He said a search found nothing incriminating on the suspect’s body, but police found four pills believed to be ecstasy in a bag in the suspect’s car.
DSP Azmi said a urine test on the suspect returned positive for amphetamine.
“The police will apply for an order to remand the suspect from the magistrate’s court in Ayer Keroh today,” he said.
The case is being investigated under Section 12(2) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and Rule 10 of the Road Traffic Rules 1959.
