PASIR GUDANG: Police detained a local man and his female companion for allegedly engaging in an indecent act at a car park.
Seri Alam OCPD Supt Mohd Suhaimi Ishak said the couple were apprehended after a 23-second video of their indecent act was uploaded to Twitter and went viral on social media.
“The incident took place on Wednesday (March 29) in a car park at Taman Kota Masai, Pasir Gudang, at 3.03pm," he said in a statement.
Supt Mohd Suhaimi said acting on information received on Thursday (April 6), police managed to locate both suspects between 4.15pm and 5.15pm.
He said the suspects were arrested in two different locations - Taman Johor Jaya, Johor Baru and Taman Kota Masai, Pasir Gudang.
“We have detained a male suspect aged 22, and a 17-year-old female suspect," said Supt Mohd Suhaimi.
He said initial investigations showed both suspects did not have previous criminal records, adding that police had seized the car and a red-and-white shirt.
“I would like to remind the public from engaging in indecent acts that are against the norms of society and the laws of the country," Supt Mohd Suhaimi said.
The case is being investigated under Section 337D of the Penal Code and the two could face up to two years in jail if found guilty.
