"End of racing days for RXZ gang
Apr 19:
PETALING JAYA: Police have crippled the so-called RXZ gang which had been using the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) as their ‘racing circuit’.
Thirty of them were arrested in a six-hour operation on Sunday.
Police also confiscated 35 motorcycles in the operation which began at 10pm on Saturday near the Damansara Uptown area.
Petaling Jaya Traffic and Public Order chief Deputy Superintendent Wan Aziz Wan Husin said most of the motorcycles seized were Yamaha RXZ. There were some Honda EX5 and two scooters.
“Most of the vehicles had been modified for illegal racing,” said Wan Aziz at a Press conference at the district police headquarters here yesterday.
He said five of the confiscated motorcycles were abandoned by their riders who fled on foot upon seeing the road blocks.
Wan Azmi said the RXZ gang had shifted their activities to the area about a year ago, after police increased operations at their previous hot spots in Kota Damansara, the New Pantai Expressway (NPE), Sungai Buloh and Kampung Sungai Kayu Ara.
He said investigations revealed that some of the suspects had come from as far as Negri Sembilan, Kedah and Kelantan.
The suspects, aged 17 to 23, have been remanded for six days.
They are being investigated under Section 42 (1) of the Road Transport Act for reckless riding.
The suspects face a maximum five years’ jail and fines of between RM5,000 and RM15,000 upon conviction."
