The drama unfolded when policemen in a patrol car spotted the duo behaving suspiciously in a car outside a bank in Permas Jaya about 11.30am yesterday. When the police approached the men to check their identity cards, they panicked and rammed their vehicle into the patrol car. They then sped towards Kampung Bakar Batu, about a kilometre away. Johor police chief Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said the policemen gave chase and fired three shots at the vehicle, puncturing a tyre and injuring the driver. 'This forced the car to an abrupt stop. Upon checking the vehicle, it was found to be stolen,' he told Bernama. 'We also found a parang and some tools believed to have been used in robberies.' Efforts were under way to track down the remaining members of the gang, which the police believe has been crippled by the arrest of the two men. The injured suspect has been warded at the Sultanah Aminah Hospital. His accomplice is being held at the Johor Baru Selatan police headquarters. BERNAMA, THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
