JOHOR BARU: It was a mammoth operation involving a helicopter, 140 policemen on motorcycles and 10 police cars.
It was like a scene from the movie Fast and Furious, with cars and motorcycles revving their engines and hundreds of spectators jostling for positions at 2am yesterday.
The night sky was suddenly illuminated by a searchlight and by the sound of whirling helicopter blades.
It was near-pandemonium as the 600 people who had gathered at the access road to the Second Link bridge at Gelang Patah got into their vehicles and tried to escape.
But the police team was well prepared, with the helicopter circling overhead, the men in blue on motorcycles, and patrol cars blocking the 10 exits around the area to round up the illegal racers and their spectators.
At the end of the operation around 5am, about 600 people were brought to the Johor Baru North police station for their particulars to be taken.
Johor Baru North traffic police chief Inspector Bakri Zainal Abidin said 34 people were detained for illegal racing, including two civil servants and two students.
More than 400 cars and 150 motorcycles, including some with Singapore registration plates, were impounded.
The weekly races offered winners lucrative cash prizes and the promise of sexual favours from young women.
The races have attracted hundreds of people, participants and spectators, mostly youths, over the past three months.
Minutes before police moved in yesterday, spectators who had parked their vehicles by the roadside were cheering as the motorcycles and cars lined up.
With engines revving and horns blaring, everyone was anticipating the race’s start when the spotlight from the sky put paid to their plans.
The three-km, six-lane stretch of road was being turned into a racing circuit every weekend, making life difficult for residents in the area.
On receiving complaints from residents, police had checked out the activities before launching the operation.
"This is a major link from Gelang Patah to the highway, but residents said the road was inaccessible to them ever since the illegal races started.
"We are investigating whether the races involved betting, and who was organising them," Bakri said.
He said those found guilty of illegal racing face a jail term up to five years and a maximum fine of RM15,000.
"We decided to let off the spectators with a warning this time. In future, they will be charged and face a fine of RM2,000."

Weekend racing track
JOHOR BARU: The expressway access road from the Second Link Highway to Gelang Patah, a small town about 30km from Johor Baru, turned into an illegal racing track on weekends.
Cars and motorcycles sped along the three-kilometre stretch while hundreds of spectators parked their vehicles along the road to cheer the racers.
Among those who gathered at the venue were local youths and Singaporeans in luxury cars such as Mercedes Benz, Porsche and Mitsubishi Evolution.
Many of the vehicles used by the racers had modified engines.
The residents of Gelang Patah had been up in arms for the past three months because of the noise from the modified engines and the large crowds which gathered there in the small hours of the night.

Lumba drag menular di Linkedua, 550 kenderaan disita
SEBAHAGIAN daripada kenderaan yang ditahan dalam operasi cegah lumba haram.
JOHOR BAHRU 9 Julai - Kegiatan lumba kereta ala drag dari Amerika Syarikat, kini menular ke negara ini. Ia memaksa polis, termasuk dari Bukit Aman mengadakan operasi besar-besaran di ‘tapak perlumbaan’ itu di lebuh raya Linkedua di persimpangan Gelang Patah di sini awal pagi ini dan menyita 550 buah kenderaan.
Lebuh raya itu dikepung sepenuhnya dari tengah malam hingga 5 pagi.
Polis terpaksa ‘meminjam’ bas-bas kilang, lori-lori tanah, treler yang digunakan sebagai benteng bagi menghalang jentera lumba terbabit bolos.
Sebuah helikopter polis turut dibawa khas dari Kuala Lumpur bagi mengawasi operasi itu.
Lumba drag ialah perlumbaan kereta atau motosikal yang diadakan di trek yang pendek dan lurus dan pelumba dikehendaki menghabiskan cabaran dalam tempoh masa paling pendek. Ia menggunakan enjin berkuasa tinggi dan mengeluarkan bunyi bising.
Di Amerika Syarikat, jarak yang diambil untuk menghabiskan perlumbaan ialah kira-kira 201 meter atau 1,320 kaki.
Daripada jumlah kenderaan yang ditahan itu, 400 adalah kereta dan 150 lagi motosikal, termasuk kenderaan-kenderaan yang didaftarkan di Singapura.
Operasi yang dikendalikan oleh Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Johor Bahru Utara itu membabitkan 140 pegawai dan anggota polis; 20 kereta peronda; lapan kenderaan awam seperti lori treler, lori dan bas kilang serta sebuah helikopter dari Unit Udara Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) Bukit Aman.
Ketua Polis Daerah Johor Bahru, Asisten Komisioner Johari Yahya mengetuai operasi berkenaan dan dibantu oleh Ketua Trafik dan Ketenteraman Awam Johor Bahru Utara, Cif Inspektor Bakri Zainal Abidin.
Bakri berkata, pihaknya telah membuat pemantauan sejak dua bulan lalu apabila menerima laporan daripada penduduk di sekitar Gelang Patah bahawa aktiviti lumba haram dan bunyi bising sehingga mengganggu ketenteraman mereka di kawasan itu.
Beliau menambah, berikutan itu, pihaknya melakukan tinjauan ke lebuh raya berkenaan dalam tempoh tersebut bagi mengenal pasti beberapa buah kereta dan motosikal yang didapati terlibat dalam perlumbaan haram tersebut.
“Operasi yang kita lakukan berjaya dan pertama kali mengunakan helikopter apabila para pelumba yang cuba melarikan diri gagal berbuat demikian kerana polis telah menutup semua laluan keluar dari lebuh raya itu dengan bas kilang, lori treler dan lori tanah bagi menghalang sesiapa sahaja daripada memboloskan diri.
“Selain pelumba, para penonton yang menyaksikan perlumbaan itu turut ditahan tetapi mereka dibebaskan dan diberi amaran supaya tidak lagi menonton perlumbaan itu pada masa akan datang.
“Jika gagal mematuhi arahan itu, polis tidak teragak-agak akan mengambil tindakan terhadap mereka,'' tegas beliau kepada pemberita selepas mengakhiri operasi berkenaan di Gelang Patah di sini awal pagi ini.
Utusan Malaysia yang turut serta dalam operasi tersebut mendapati para pelumba cuba melarikan diri sebaik sahaja polis menutup semua laluan keluar sehingga nyaris berlaku kemalangan sesama mereka.
Helikopter yang turut serta dalam operasi tersebut juga membuat rondaan bagi memastikan para pelumba serta penonton tidak melarikan diri dari lebuh raya tersebut.
Bakri berkata, kesemua kenderaan serta pemandu terlibat telah dibawa ke IPD Johor Bahru Utara dan Balai Polis Kulai untuk pemeriksaan sama menggunakan kereta curi, mengubah suai enjin dan cukai jalan tamat tempoh.
Beliau berkata, sebanyak 30 pemandu dan kereta masing-masing yang menyertai perlumbaan tersebut ditahan dan disiasat di bawah Seksyen 42, Akta Pengangkutan Jalan 1987 kerana didapati memandu secara cuai dan membahayakan pengguna jalan raya lain.
Tambahnya, operasi berkenaan berjaya kerana melibatkan semua anggota dan Unit Udara PDRM bagi memastikan para pelumba terbabit tidak memboloskan diri.
Beliau berkata, polis akan menjalankan operasi yang sama dari semasa ke semasa bagi memastikan aktiviti lumba haram di sekitar Gelang Patah dapat dibanteras.
Jelasnya, mereka yang ditangkap akan disiasat dan didakwa di bawah Akta Pengangkutan Jalan 1987 kerana terlibat menonton dan melibatkan diri dalam perlumbaan haram.
