Seremban traffic police uses drone to nab <em>mat rempit</em>

Four teenagers were detained by Seremban traffic police (JSPT) during Operasi Samseng Jalanan (Operation Road Hooligan) for riding dangerously. A team of three officer and 19 personnel conducted the operation at Sendayan Techvalley in Bandar Sri Sendayan, Negeri Sembilan yesterday.

During the operation, JSPT used a drone to track and locate the miscreants who tried to evade the JSPT road block and sought refuge in a nearby plot of empty land. JSPT were responding to complaints of reckless motorcycle riding and noisy exhausts, disturbing the peace of residents in the area.

This is despite JSPT having conducted several such operations previously in the area, with the mat rempit (road hooligans) cocking a snook at police. During the operation, 25 motorcycles and 35 individuals were inspected while 38 summons was issued for various offences.

Of these, four motorcycles were detained and brought to JSPT headquarters in Seremban for further inspection. Four individuals were detained under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous riding.
