KL traffic cops arrest six, four minors, after viral wheelie stunts with pillion daredevils spark outrage

“KUALA LUMPUR, June 2 — Police have arrested six individuals, including four minors, believed to have been involved in dangerous wheelie stunts on Jalan Raja Laut, Jalan Tun Razak and Jalan P. Ramlee here recently. Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief ACP Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa said the incident was detected after a 44-second video was uploaded to Facebook last Sunday, showing several motorcyclists performing dangerous stunts with pillion riders on public roads. He said the first arrests were made yesterday at 3.20am involving a 20-year-old man and his 16-year-old girlfriend, who were riding a white Yamaha 135LC motorcycle. “Following that, two male riders aged 17 and 16, together with two female pillion riders aged 18 and 15, who are believed to have been involved in the viral video recording, were arrested at about 12.54am today,” he said in a statement today. Mohd Zamzuri said the suspects arrested in the second operation had used two blue Yamaha 135LC motorcycles. All the suspects have had their statements recorded and were released on police bail as some of them are still underage. “Further investigations are being carried out under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving,” he said. — Bernama
