Report lodged over wire trap for m-cyclists

KUALA LUMPUR: Kesas Sdn Bhd has lodged a report over a sabotage attempt to trap motorcyclists using a motorcycle lane along the Shah Alam Expressway (LSA) early yesterday morning.

Kesas, in a statement yesterday, said photographs of the sabotage attempt were handed over to police to facilitate investigations.

“The trap was discovered during a routine patrol at 5am yesterday, but no motorcyclists were caught in the trap.

“Immediate action by Kesas patrol team foiled the sabotage attempt along the motorcycle lane,” it said.

Kesas said it would cooperate with police in monitoring safety along the highway and the 24-hour patrol service would be stepped up to prevent such incidents from recurring.

A Kesas spokesman said a patrol member suffered minor injuries when he rode into a wire trap set across the motorcycle path.

The wire trap was set by those who intended to incapacitate victims before robbing them. Bernama
