SHAH ALAM: Hundreds of men were forced to push their motorcycles 5km to police headquarters here last night, after being nabbed in a crackdown on street races.
Police lay in wait for 90 minutes yesterday for motorcyclists to gather in the car park of Stadium Melawati here.
Nearby residents had complained that street races were being held there for the last two weeks, said traffic enforcement head Chief Inspector Abdul Aziz Md Isa.
At 7.30pm, police sealed off all exits, trapping some 300 motorcyclists and about 50 pillion riders inside the car park.
About 30 traffic policemen immediately confiscated the riders’ keys, Abdul Aziz said.
They then forced the motorcyclists to push their vehicles to the police headquarters.
Most of the riders were in their late teens and early 20s. Some pillion riders included under-age girls, he said.
Police booked them for various offences, including not carrying their driving licences. Aziz said processing the offences continued until midnight.
