Kota Kinabalu: A Kancil car driven by a suspected robber plunged into a monsoon drain in the Sembulan area, here, following a car chase with police on Wednesday.
The drama began on the roadside at the Centre Point shopping mall when the local suspect, realising he was under surveillance, tried to ram his car into officers to make his getaway.

Police fired several warning shots, puncturing the Kancil's tyre, but this didn't stop the suspect from his attempt to escape.
The car chase ended when the suspect deliberately drove his car into the drain to shake his tail loose, but officers managed to nab him and later tow his car out of the drain (as shown in video) to be impounded, said city police chief ACP Habibi Majinji.
