Kulai police chief Tan Seng Lee said the suspects, aged 24 to 29, were arrested in four raids in the district and Johor Bahru between 3.30am and 3pm.

Equipment and vehicles believed to have been used in the burglaries were also seized during the raids.

“All three suspects have convictions for criminal and drug-related cases. They also tested positive for methamphetamine.

“With their arrests, we believe we have solved seven cases,” he said, adding that another suspect remained at large.

It was previously reported that the Kulai MP’s office and four Chinese schools in the district were broken into.

In a separate case, Tan said four men were arrested in two raids for burglary on July 12.

He said all four suspects, aged 41 to 55, were arrested in Johor Bahru. Police also seized mobile phones, laptops and various items used in the burglary.

“Fake registration plates and two cars were also seized. One of the cars was reported missing in Pantai Remis. The suspects tested positive for methamphetamine,” he added.
