Police to charge suspect who left a revolver in Safee Sali's car

JOHOR BARU: Johor police will charge the suspect who left a revolver and live bullets in the vehicle belonging to Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) striker Safee Sali on Sunday.
The suspect, whom the police arrested on May 15, is expected to be charged under the Firearms Act 1960.
Johor police chief, Datuk Wan Ahmad Najmuddin bin Mohd said Safee had left his car for few days at a car accessories shop before flying out to Kuala Lumpur for FA Cup Final match in Shah Alam.
Police discovered the Smith & Wesson revolver and 30 bullets in a bag, placed on the back seat of the Ford Ranger, during a road block northbound at the Kempas exit of the PLUS Expressway.
The owner of the car accessory shop was driving the vehicle at the time of the inspection.
Following interrogation of the 34-year old suspect, Wan Ahmad said they cleared Safee of his involvement in the discovery of the weapon and bullets.
"Our advise to car owners is not to leave their vehicles unattended for a long period of time. When I go to wash my car, I wait there till the job is completed," he told reporters after attending the police monthly gathering at Johor Contingent Police Headquarters today.
He said this to ensure people do not misuse the vehicles entrusted to them.
