AMPANG JAYA: A 26-year-old suspected car thief was arrested after a Proton Waja he was travelling in skidded infront of Ampang Hospital in Pandan Mewah while trying to escape from police yesterday.

Ampang Jaya deputy police chief Superintendent Md Nazri Zawawi said the suspect’s two other accomplices, a man and woman however managed  to give police a slip in the 9.30pm incident.

He said the trio were earlier spotted behaving suspiciously near Kampung Baru Ampang by the police on patrol.
