SHAH ALAM: Police have detained a man who is believed to have snatched a handbag from another vehicle which had crashed into his car at Kilometer 14.6 of the Federal Highway (Kuala Lumpur-bound) yesterday, to facilitate investigations.
Shah Alam district police chief ACP Baharudin Mat Taib in a statement today said the suspect, aged 56, was arrested when he turned up to lodge an accident report at the Shah Alam district police headquarters at 6.30pm.
Baharudin said earlier on Saturday at 1.33pm a BMW car driven by a woman had crashed the rear-end of a Proton Gen 2 car belonging to the man.
"The impact had caused his car to hit the front vehicle," he said.
Baharudin said an investigation paper on the case has been opened under Sections 379 and 323 of the Penal Code.
Earlier, a 90-second video showing a man opening a car door and taking a woman's handbag made its round on social media.
