SEGAMAT: A motorcycle reported stolen 18 years ago from Sedili, Kota Tinggi, was recovered in Segamat yesterday (Oct 14).
The Honda Wave 100 was found by officers from the district police headquarters's traffic investigation and enforcement department officers during a routine patrol.
District police chief Superintendent Ahmad Zamry Marinsah said they arrested a 38-year-old Indian national, suspected of being involved in the motorcycle theft.
The suspect was detained at 2pm near Balai Badang, where the patrol team discovered the vehicle.
"The suspect is believed to have acted alone with no syndicate involvement. We are investigating how the motorcycle, reported stolen in 2006, ended up here," said Ahmad Zamry.
He said Segamat police are working closely with the Kota Tinggi district police to investigate the matter. They are also looking into the possibility of cloned registration and chassis numbers.
