Kuala Langat police chief Supt Ahmad Ridhwan Mohd Nor @ Saleh said that based on a preliminary investigation, it was found that the incident happened between 4 am and 6 am when the deceased, a 40-year-old local resident, and a friend were suspected to have used a jack to lift the car to steal the exhaust pipe.
"It is believed the jack lift collapsed causing the victim to be crushed under the car,” he said in a statement.
Ahmad Ridhwan said acting on information, the police then arrested a 32-year-old local man in the Telok Panglima Garang area at 10.45 am yesterday to facilitate investigation under Section 379/511 of the Penal Code.
The suspect, with seven records including for theft and burglary, as well as drug-related offences, will be remanded today. - BERNAMA
