Two rape incidents in Johor Baru, just six hours apart
By FARIK ZOLKEPLI
JOHOR BARU: A schoolgirl was raped by four men and another by a bogus policeman in two separate incidents within a six-hour period.
In the first incident, a 16-year-old schoolgirl who had quarrelled with her boyfriend went to calm her feelings at a lake in Taman Tasik Dahlia, Pasir Gudang, at about 12.30am here yesterday.
Four men on motorcycles turned up, started harassing her and forced her on to one of the motorcycles.
They then took her to a secluded area near some factories in Tanjung Langsat and took turns to rape her.
After that, they dropped her off at the lake and fled.
The victim flagged down a taxi to get home and later lodged a police report.
A police source said they are looking for the men aged between 20 and 30.
In the second incident, a 14-year-old schoolgirl and her 13-year-old brother were waiting for the school bus in Tampoi at 6.30am yesterday when a man drove up to them and identified himself as a policeman.
He told them to get into his car and demanded their MyKads.
When they could not produce the cards, the man took the siblings back to their house in Taman Johor.
However, when the girls brother went inside to get the identification cards, he sped off with the girl.
The man took the girl to a secluded area in Technology Park in Senai and raped her and left.
The girl managed to hail passers-by who took her home.
She lodged a report at the Tampoi police station at 9.30am, and was sent to Sultanah Aminah Hospital for a medical check-up.
Police urged anyone with information on both cases to contact the police hotline at 07-221-2999 or the nearest police station.
Serious crime appears to be on the upswing.
On June 12, three men raped a 19-year-old girl and forced her 22-year-old boyfriend to watch.
The following day, a group of armed men took a couple on a terror ride before raping the 35-year-old woman in the presence of her friend, who was slashed.
On Monday, an unemployed man and his seven-month pregnant wife were found murdered in their home in Taman Desa Anggerik in Seremban.
