KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 — Police have arrested a local man suspected of involvement in a gang robbery at a condominium in Jalan Dua, Chan Sow Lin, Cheras, after he had been on the run for more than two years.

Cheras district police chief ACP Mohd Rosli Daud said the suspect, who is in his late 20s, was arrested during a raid in Sungai Jelok, Kajang, Selangor, at about noon last Friday.

“Acting on information and continuous intelligence gathering, a team from the Criminal Investigation Department (D9) of the Cheras district police headquarters arrested the suspect by the roadside in Sungai Jelok,” he said in a statement today.

He said the suspect was wanted for investigations into a gang robbery at a condominium unit in Jalan Dua, Chan Sow Lin, in March 2024.
