In the first incident, a 24-year-old thief who tried to snatch a woman’s bag crashed his motorcycle near the Tangkak Hospital on Oct 5, and was arrested at the hospital in Jempol, Negri Sembilan, the next day.

Both boys, aged 17, admitted to stealing a Honda motorcycle and would be charged in the court soon, he added.
