The police have arrested 126 individuals involved in an illegal car racing syndicate that used women and money as bets in Johor Bahru, said Johor police chief Kamarul Zaman Mamat.
He said the syndicate was detected following one-month monitoring by the police which brought to the detention of the suspects at the Skudai Toll Plaza (southbound) in an operation from 2am to 4am today.
He said all the suspects, comprising 107 men and 19 women, were between 18 and 30 years old.
However, only six men, aged between 22 and 25, were found to be involved in the illegal racing while 120 people were just the spectators, he told reporters.
Kamarul Zaman said urine tests on all the 126 individuals found three men, who were among the six involved in the illegal racing, positive for drugs.
The six individuals were detained under Section 42 and Section 81 of the Road Transport Act 1987 while the spectators were freed on police bail.
