At 8.40am, police personnel on patrol saw a 15-year-old boy dismantling a motorcycle in the compound of an unoccupied house at Samariang and questioned him.
According to Kuching District Deputy Police Chief Supt Merbin Lisa in a statement, a Crime Investigation Department (CID) Kuching team led by Inspector Muhammad Rizal subsequently managed to arrest the 24-year-old mastermind behind the theft after interrogating the first suspect.
