Kuala Lumpur: A gang of 15 men went on rampage at PPR Desa Rejang flats and smashed several vehicles belonged to the flat dwellers early yesterday.

Sentul police chief Assistant Commissioner Zakaria Pagan said the incident occurred at 5am when the men who arrived in five cars started to smash the vehicles with sticks and steel rods.

Zakaria said the thugs’ action had irked some of the residents who were having drink at the nearby foodcourt and they decided to cordon off the area while waiting for police.

He said the residents managed to stop three cars from leaving the area while the other two vehicles managed to flee the scene.

“Police arrived shortly after we were alerted on the incident and apprehend 10 men to facilitate investigation,” he said.

Initial investigation revealed that the incident was motivated by revenge following to a fight between a PPR Desa Rejang flat resident with another man in Sri Rampai area few days ago.
