RTD issues 318 notices in integrated operation in KL
KUALA LUMPUR: An undocumented Indonesian man was detained while he was trying to evade arrest during an integrated operation at the Jalan Duta Toll Plaza, here, Friday night.
In the 9.30 pm incident, the 30-year-old man who was riding a Honda Vario motorcycle with his wife as the pillion rider, fled on foot after being asked to produce his motorcycle licence and identification documents.
Road Transport Department (RTD) deputy director-general (Planning and Operations) Aedy Fadly Ramli said when stopped for inspection, the man pretended to make a phone call before fleeing the scene.
However, he said the suspect only managed to run as far as 200m before being arrested by enforcement personnel.
Further checks found that the suspect and his wife are from Surabaya, Indonesia and both of them did not have valid documents and were on their way to Segambut from Shah Alam.
