Cops to interview students caught on camera damaging school properties

KOTA BARU: Kelantan police are expected to summon four teenagers suspected to be involved in vandalising several school properties here recently.

District deputy police chief Superintendent Mohd Suhaimi Ali said the four boys, all aged 14, will be asked to present themselves at the district police headquarters soon following a police report lodged by the school administrators this evening.

“The report is in connection with their alleged action in vandalising eight chairs owned by the school yesterday, which was captured on video and later gone viral on the social media.

“We have recorded a statement from the school administrators on the incident today while the four teenagers will be called in to record theirs soon,” he said when met by reporters at the school here today.

He said the case will be investigated under Section 427 of the Penal Code for causing damage to properties, which carries a minimum jail term of one year or a fine, or both, upon conviction.

The 13-second video featured several teenagers throwing and kicking plastic chairs in a classroom on the last day of the school term yesterday which was later posted on social media. -- Bernama
