Police hunt group of masked men over Cheras entertainment centre riot

KUALA LUMPUR: Police are hunting a group of men suspected of causing a commotion at an entertainment centre in Cheras here yesterday.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus said a report was lodged around 7.30pm on the same day the incident occurred, believed to have happened at about 1.30pm.

“The suspects reportedly rammed the premises’ gate with a lorry, forced their way inside, and vandalised property,” he said in a statement.

The case is being investigated under Sections 148 and 427 of the Penal Code for rioting with armed weapons and mischief, respectively.

A 60-second clip circulating online showed a lorry reversing and crashing into the gate of the premises, before a group of men, each covering their faces with skull caps and armed with unidentified objects, broke into the premises.
