ALOR GAJAH: A man who was initially detained for allegedly stealing cash from donation boxes at the Kuala Sungai Baru Mosque here was also found to have been involved in 17 cases of motorcycle theft.
Malacca police chief Datuk Abd Jalil Hassan said the 27-year-old suspect from Dengkil, Selangor was picked up in an operation dubbed "Op Lejang Khas" in the district at about 5.30am on Sept 12.
"The suspect's arrest had uncovered his (alleged involvement in) motorcycle theft activities since early last year," he told a press conference here today.
