However, he said police were tracing the vehicle's owner.
"We will identify them. If they are indeed children, we will investigate the matter under the Child Act 2001," he said when contacted here.
The video shows two girls sitting on top of a luxury MPV, believed to have climbed out through the sunroof while the vehicle was moving.
