KUALA LUMPUR: A woman was arrested on Thursday (Feb 17) evening after she stole an unattended car and went on a rampage along Jalan Genting Klang here.

       The 38-year-old suspect, who has 14 criminal and drug-related offences on her criminal record, had driven the stolen Honda City car in an aggressive manner, smashing into several vehicles.

       A video of the incident that was uploaded by a motorist has gone viral on social media.

       Wangsa Maju OCPD Supt Ashari Abu Samah said the incident unfolded at about 2.30pm near the Setapak Vocational College.

       He said a married couple had stepped out of their Honda City with the engine running before the woman entered the car and drove off.

       "The husband, using a motorcycle belonging to a security guard nearby, rode to the nearest police station to lodge a report but along the way found his car stalled and the woman apprehended by members of the public,” he said in a statement on Thursday night.

       Supt Ashari said the woman is being investigated under Section 379A of the Penal Code for vehicle theft and Section 279 of the Penal Code for reckless driving.- Bernama
