Cops open probe into man who allegedly tried to bring dog into mall in Shah Alam

SHAH ALAM: A man allegedly tried to bring his pet dog into a shopping complex in Section 14 because he was said to be dissatisfied with the service at a goldsmith shop, says the police.

Shah Alam district police chief ACP Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said the incident happened at 11.20am on Oct 17.

He added that investigations revealed that the 52-year-old suspect reportedly had left his dog tied outside the building and was said to have gone to the goldsmith shop to purchase a piece of gold.

He said the man was presumably angered by the lack of service. The suspect supposedly shouted abusive words at the worker, causing a commotion that was purportedly broken up by the shopping complex security personnel.

“The man then attempted to bring his pet dog inside the building but was stopped,” he said.

According to Muhd Iqbal, witness reports from the incident are being processed under Section 290 of the Penal Code, Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act, adding that the suspect lodged a report under Section 233 of the Penal Code.

Mohd Iqbal urged those with information on the incident to contact the investigating officer, Inspector Nor Sabryna Mohammad Taha, at 014-5130450 and assistant investigator officer Sergeant Rustam Eliah at 019-6148034 to assist in the investigation. – Bernama
