Experts at the police forensics laboratory are still analysing the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage related to the shooting of a businessman in Jalan Datuk Keramat, here, last month.

Northeast district police chief, ACP Mior Faridalathrash Wahid said he believed that police would obtain new clues to the case after receiving a full report on the CCTV footage.

"The CCTV recording at the scene was sent after the incident and based on some information obtained (from the CCTV), I believe we will have some new developments on the case."

He told reporters this after the flagging-off for participants of the Melaka Trishaw Riding Programme by Penang deputy police chief, Datuk A. Thaiveegan, here, on Thursday.

In the 3.30am incident on Feb 11, Syed Amen Jainul Abidin, 46, the owner of a nasi kandar restaurant and several car wash outlets was shot dead in front of a high-powered motorcycle shop in Jalan Datuk Keramat, here.

Meanwhile, Mior Faridalatrash said police arrested a teenager believed to be a member of a motorcycle theft syndicate, which had been active in the district.

He said the 18-year-old was arrested in Sungai Nibong, here, at 4.10am Thursday and the initial investigation revealed that the motorcycle he was riding had been reported stolen in George Town, recently.
