SEPANG, Jan 9 (Bernama) -- Three men wanted for cheating and drug abuse cases in Melaka, Putrajaya, and Banting, Selangor have been arrested during traffic operations here.

Sepang district police chief ACP Norhizam Bahaman said the suspects, aged between 25 and 54, were nabbed during the operations, which saw police mounting eight roadblocks since Tuesday.

“The operations began last Tuesday and will run until Jan 14, aiming to detect various offences involving commercial vehicles around Sepang,” he told a press conference here today.

On a separate matter, Norhizam said Sepang police have recently received three reports of missing girls, aged between 15 and 17, and all the cases have been solved with the return of the teenagers to their families.
