MUAR: Police have detained three men suspected of stealing parts from a lorry parked at a store along Km12.8 of the Muar-Tangkak road near Sungai Mati here.
Muar police chief Asst Comm Mohammad Nasir Ramli said the men, aged between 34 and 48, were detained five hours after the lorry owner reported the theft on Tuesday.
He said police recovered the stolen parts valued at RM1,000 and seized a motorcycle used to carry away the parts.

ACP Mohammad Nasir said that public assistance helped the police in tracking and detaining the three men while they were carting off the stolen parts.
In an unrelated case, he said that police detained 13 youths, including students, and seized three motorcycles believed to be stolen, in a crime prevention operation here.
He said, besides checking for stolen bikes, police raided several entertainment outlets and booked seven operators for remaining open beyond the stipulated business hours.
“All the operators were issued summonses for violating the business hours rule,” he added.
