Perak police chief Yusri Hassan Basri said a man called the police at 1.07pm yesterday to inform them about the incident.

“According to the house owner, who is staying with his wife and two children, his wife heard an explosion outside the house earlier in the morning, but he ignored it.

“At about 12.45pm, he went out of his house to collect some items and noticed that the rear window of his car was damaged. He also saw a bullet casing under the vehicle,” he said in a statement here today.

He said police viewed footage from a nearby closed-circuit television camera and saw two male suspects on a Yamaha Y15 motorcycle, which had no registration number, with one of them seen firing a shot at the victim’s car.

“The suspect was then seen trying to fire another shot at the house, but the gun failed to work and the suspects then fled,” he said.
