The case of two cars missing from Menara 1 car park at the Bukit Aman police headquarters has been traced to a policeman attached to Bukit Aman and his four friends.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Amar Singh Ishar Singh said a Volkswagen Vento and a Proton Saga BLM that belonged to a DSP and an ASP respectively, from the Traffic Investigation Department and the Enforcement Department went missing on Oct 6.
"Investigations traced the theft to a Lance Corporal in his 30s at the Camp Commandant branch in Bukit Aman," he told a media conference here today.
Amar Singh said another four men aged between 29 and 42, comprising car repossessors and mechanics, were picked up on Monday.
"The four men were nabbed in Selangor with the Volkswagen Vento but the Proton Saga BLM is still missing," he said.
He said the policeman was charged in Kuala Lumpur today while his four friends were remanded to assist investigations under Section 379A of the Penal Code.
In another development, Amar Singh said police had sent an IP address of a local man who was believed to have uploaded obscene pictures of children to a social site, to the forensic unit for further investigations.
"We are still probing if the pictures of children belonged to locals or were from abroad," he said.
On Oct 14, police nabbed a local man who was believed to have uploaded children's pornographic pictures on a social site in Jinjang Utara during an operation at 9.50am.
The man was detained by the Bukit Aman CID Sexual, Women and Children Investigation Division (D11), Bukit Aman Commercial CID as well as Kuala Lumpur police headquarters at his house after a tip-off about exploitation activities of children on social site by Taiwan police.
