Police in Kuching have launched an investigation into attacks on two convenience store outlets in what appears to be coordinated incidents of vandalism and arson. In one case, a store was targeted with firecrackers, while a second outlet sustained damage after two men allegedly hurled an object into the premises, triggering two explosions that sparked a fire.
The incidents have raised concerns about public safety in the commercial district. Authorities have not yet disclosed the exact locations of the targeted stores or the extent of damage sustained in either attack.
Investigators are examining CCTV footage and gathering witness statements to identify the suspects involved in both incidents. Police have appealed for any information from the public that may assist in their inquiries.
The nature of the objects allegedly thrown and the motive behind the attacks remain under investigation. Authorities have not ruled out any possibilities at this stage of their probe.
