SERDANG: Police here have foiled a motorcycle theft syndicate comprised of teenagers.
Serdang police chief assistant commissioner Megat Mohd Aminuddin Megat Alias said seven teenagers, aged between 15 and 19, were nabbed during an operation in the district on Saturday.
They were picked up in housing areas in Puchong, including Taman Puchong Hartamas and Rumah PKNS.
