Cops probing alleged kidnap bid of 2 pupils in Gua Musang

GUA MUSANG: Police are still investigating claims of attempted kidnapping involving two students at SK Sri Wangi here, on Sept 19 and 20.

Gua Musang police chief Sik Choon Foo said that after a voice message over the incidents went viral on WhatsApp, the school had met with the students involved.

“The first incident on Monday at about 5pm involved a Year 4 pupil who claimed that two unknown men in a white Perodua Kancil had called out to him on the road leading to Gua Musang, but the student ignored them.

“The second incident on Tuesday at about 5pm involved a Year 1 student who claimed that two unknown men in a grey Perodua Myvi had called out to him. The student also ignored the call,” he said in a statement today.

Sik said following the incidents, the school had requested for police patrols when students were returning home after the morning session at 12.45pm, as well as after religious and fardu ain classes at 4.45pm.

He reminded parents and guardians to pick up their children on time while also urging all parties not to speculate about the incidents.
