IPOH, Aug 24 — Perak police arrested four men believed to be involved in the shooting case in Kampung Simee here last month, in a raid on a double-storey house in Medan Bercham 4 here yesterday.

Deputy Perak police chief Datuk A Paramasivam said the 9.30pm raid was mounted by a team of policemen from the Serious Crime Investigation Division (D9) following the arrest of three other suspects last week.

“With the arrest of the four men, all in their 30s, the Kampung Simee’s shooting case is considered solved,” he told a press conference here today.

Paramasivam said two of the suspects were nabbed on the lower level of the house, while two others, who tried to escape through the roof, were arrested after they entered the house next door.

Police also seized a Baretta 9mm pistol and two bullets from one of the suspects, he said.

Paramasivam said during the raid, police had also fired several shots in defence after the fourth suspect opened fire in his bid to escape from the house next door.

“However, no casualties were reported,” he said.

Following a search, he said police also found several packets of Eramin Five pills and that it was believed that the house had also been used as a drug-processing lab.

On July 28, a man was killed, while two others sustained severe injuries, after being shot by unknown assailants in front of a restaurant in Kampung Simee. — Bernama
