IPOH, Nov 15 (Bernama) -- Police have arrested four men suspected of being involved in cable theft at Jalan Kamunting-Batu Kurau, near Taiping Vocational College, early today.

“The suspects were detained while they were removing a cable manhole cover using specialised tools. Also seized were two machetes, two screwdrivers, and a Perodua Myvi car,” he said in a statement tonight.
The case is being investigated under Section 379/511 of the Penal Code, and all suspects have been remanded for three days until Nov 17 to assist in the investigation.
