Police investigating PPIM's claims that vehicle leasing company operating on illegal land

KLANG: Police are investigating allegations that a vehicle leasing company in Jalan Sungai Sikamat, Kajang has been operating on an individual's property without permission.
Selangor Deputy Police chief DCP Datuk Ab Rashid Ab Wahab (pix) said that early investigations into the case show that the land is owned by a number of individuals.
"We are still investigating the case to see if the allegations are true or false. Maybe some owners of the land gave them consent to use it and some other owners did not.
"The land's title is under four to five names," he said at a hand over of duty ceremony of the North Klang Police chief today.
He added that the police are taking statements from the Islamic Consumer Association of Malaysia (PPIM) and the car lease company.
The car lease and rental company drew the ire of PPIM due to claims that the company have cheated several individuals who had leased their cars to them.
The purported fraud came to light when several of PPIM activists and victims on Monday demanded the release of vehicles kept at the company's storehouse in Kajang.
The group had allegedly barged into the premises where the whole incident was aired live on PPIM Facebook page.
The manager of the company had then lodged a police report, while police investigations revealed that the group did not produce any court order to enter the storehouse.
The case is being investigated under Section 447 of the Penal Code for criminal trespass and Section 427 for causing mischief.
