Cable Theft Suspect nabbed after car chase

By Roger Francis, ET,25/1/2008

KUCHING: A Mobile Patrol Vehicle (MPV) unit arrested a cable theft suspect while another managed to escape after their car rammed into a tree in Tabuan Jaya early yesterday morning.
The two suspects were seen cutting the cable at a private college in Matang at about 4.30am by members of the public who informed the police.
When the MPV unit arrived at the scene, the suspects jumped into their Proton Saga and sped away towards Tabuan Jaya.
A high speed pursuit ensued.
The pursuit ended when the suspects’ car suddenly went out of control and rammed into a tree at Tabuan Jaya.
One of suspects managed to escape while the another suspect, in his 30s, from, Sungai Periuk, was arrested.
The suspects’ car and the cable found in it were taken to the police station for detention

When i was staying in Rodway, those thieves stole the streetlights cable twice, but surprisely the cable would be just about 10 feet because they would climb near an abandoned quarters, still it causes inconvience because of the darkness at night and drivers are caught by surprise and blindness for about 50 metres. The Sesco Contractor would came and say kalau lain kali ada tengok orang panjat panggil sesco atau polis, kalau sesco sendiri, panggil juga, ada oraang kuat tipu punya...

How would we know if those people want to steal, we are not at home for 24 hours, but i really respect those contractor/his workers if they are on duty from night to dawn after a bad thunderstorm, they had to do repairs from santubong to 9 mile,
