Car-jacking gangs busted<\/p>\n
KUALA LUMPUR (DPA): Malaysian police have busted three car-
\njacking gangs which stole expensive foreign cars and smuggled
\nthem abroad including to Thailand, Singapore and Australia, a
\nnews report said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The gangs were linked to more than 400 car-jackings throughout
\nthe country in the past year, the New Straits Times daily said.<\/p>\n
So far, 11 gang members have been arrested and about 20 cars,
\nincluding brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Honda and the
\nMalaysian-made Proton Perdana, have been recovered.<\/p>\n
The daily said the gangs opted to car-jack because the
\nexpensive vehicles were equipped with sophisticated antitheft
\nsystems.<\/p>\n
Victims would be stalked and then confronted by gang members,
\nwho usually staged accidents at traffic lights or intersections
\nbefore seizing the car. Recently, a Singaporean woman was
\nabducted and murdered after her car was stolen by five men who
\nrammed into the vehicle.<\/p>",
