SEREMBAN, Sept 4 (Bernama) -- A foreign national man was arrested after he attempted to flee during a car inspection by the police at a parking lot of an apartment complex in Bandar Baru Putra Nilai yesterday.
Nilai District Police Chief Supt Abdul Malik Hasim said the man, in his 30s, was apprehended during a special operation by the Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department at 4:30 p.m.
"During the operation, police spotted a suspicious Perodua Bezza car with two foreign men inside in the apartment's parking lot.
