The Sabah Police Commissioner Jauteh Dikun announced the arrests following an investigation into a series of break-ins and robberies at luxury homes across the state. The six detained men are aged between 30 and 43 years old and are believed to be core members of the organized crime group.
Background checks revealed the suspects collectively have 75 prior criminal records, with offences ranging from burglary to drug-related charges. The extensive histories suggest the men have been engaged in organized criminal activity for some time, according to police statements.
Authorities indicated that the investigation has identified additional suspects believed to be affiliated with the syndicate who remain at large. Police said they are actively pursuing these individuals as part of their ongoing operation to dismantle the criminal network. Investigations into the gang's activities are continuing, with further arrests anticipated.
