The suspect was later taken into custody after crashing his car.<\/p>\n

He was being sought in connection with a house break-in on 30 Jan, as well as several motorcycle theft cases around the Kuching area.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred at about 1.30pm along Jalan Kuching-Serian, heading towards Kuching city centre.<\/p>\n

Footage circulating online showed the suspect’s vehicle being overtaken by an unmarked white car carrying plainclothes police officers.<\/p>\n

While both vehicles were still in motion, officers alighted from the unmarked car to intercept the suspect.<\/p>\n
