SEREMBAN: Two snatch thieves who had earlier grabbed a woman’s handbag in Senawang were foiled, thanks to the heroic actions of a man who rammed the criminals down with his car.
The drama unfolded at 4.20pm yesterday as a woman was having a meal with her friend at a restaurant in Taman Guru.
A man snatched her handbag and dashed out of the restaurant to an accomplice, who was waiting on a motorcycle.
However, another man spotted the incident and saw the restaurant’s workers chasing the thieves. The man then gave pursuit in his car and proceeded to ram the thieves’ motorcycle.
The restaurant workers apprehended the criminals before handing them over to the police.
The incident went viral on Facebook after the victim related the event and posted photos of the incident.
Meanwhile, Seremban police chief Assistant Commissioner Muhamad Zaki Harun said the suspects, aged 31 and 32, were arrested at Taman Desa Duranta, about 200m from the scene.
Zaki said the suspects were using a motorcycle with a fake registration number.
“The duo will be remanded until Sunday under Section 395 for gang robbery,” he said.
