Viral Footage Shows Failed Robbery Attempt in Johor

A viral video from December 6, 2025, documented a failed daylight snatch theft in Johor Setia Indah. The footage showed a woman walking by the roadside when a motorcycle carrying two individuals approached. The passenger, acting as the thief, attempted to grab her handbag.

The attempt caused the thief to fall from the motorcycle and the victim to fall to the floor. The thief fled on foot without the bag, while the motorcyclist immediately drove off. The driver of the recording vehicle played a role in deterring the thief by honking non-stop.

The video's poster commented that the security situation in the area is "terrible," emphasizing that "robberies are happening in broad daylight." The incident highlights significant safety concerns for pedestrians and calls for increased security measures in the Johor Setia Indah locality.

Man Charged for Making Prank Calls and Throwing Eggs at Police Cars

A 28 year old man is facing serious charges after allegedly making 18 prank calls to the police and vandalizing their vehicles. Davin Lian Ke Xiang appeared in court on March 25 2026 accused of a campaign of harassment that lasted over a month. Investigators found that he used a lost identity card to get a phone line which he then used to report fake crimes between February and March. The most shocking part is that on three separate days in March when officers arrived at the scenes he reportedly waited for them to step out of their cars before throwing eggs at the police vehicles.
