While SAP members were conducting Blue Light Patrol along the N14 road in Kagung Village, members encountered road construction signs placed in the road suspected to have been set up by alleged criminals.

The police members immediately removed the obstruction and reopened the road. However, no suspects were found at the scene.
Police are urging the public to be alert and vigilant and exercise caution, especially during late-night and early-morning travels and report any suspicious road blockages or activities immediately to the relevant authorities.
