However, two of the suspects inside one of the vehicles skidded off the road and surrendered to police, while the other two who also fled in another Myvi were intercepted by police and arrested.
Based on preliminary investigation, Zaidi said the four, aged between 30 and 56, were in the midst of selling three goats suspected to be stolen when they realised the presence of police and fled.
“A 5km pursuit took place between the police and the suspects prior to the Myvi skidding in Kg Sembirai, while the other Myvi was intercepted by police.
“Investigation showed the group was involved in stealing cows and gas cylinders and housebreaking here since last year,” he said.
