According to Free Malaysia Today, police officers first spotted the trio's vehicle on Jalan Central Timur at 1.10pm on Thursday, 2 April
As the police approached the suspects, they sped away and led the officers to a high-speed chase up until Jalan Depo.
"The suspects sped away to avoid arrest along Jalan Tun Abdul Rahman Yaakub and almost hit a back-up police vehicle," said Kuching district police chief ASP Awang Din Awang Gani.
"Police later managed to block the suspect's vehicle along Jalan Depo, following which the three attempted to flee on foot with one of them tossing a bag on the ground."
