KUALA LUMPUR - Police detained a suspect who is believed to have robbed two foreigners of RM500 at a car wash centre in Taman Saujana Kajang, yesterday after the incident went viral on social media.

Kajang police chief ACP Mohd Zaid Hassan said the 21-year-old suspect who tested positive for drugs (meth) during a urine test, was arrested near Taman Kantai Permai, Kajang on the same day of the incident.

However, the suspect did not impersonate himself as a police officer as claimed in the viralled social media posting.

Police said the suspect will be remanded for four days (until Nov 30) and the case was investigated under Section 392 of the Penal Code for robbing without using any weapons or firearms.
