THE Royal Brunei Police Force (RBPF) believes it will be able to solve several car break-in cases following the recent arrest of three local men.
In a statement, the RBPF said two of the suspects, aged 34 and 35, were detained after detectives from the CID District Headquarters in Brunei-Muara District raided a rented house in the capital.
During police interrogation, both of the suspects, who had been evading police detection since early this year, admitted to being involved with several car break-in cases within the Brunei-Muara District.
Their modus operandi was to smash car windows to commit theft.
Both suspects will be remanded until September 28 pending further police investigations.
The third suspect, a 29-year-old, was also arrested following a raid at a housing area in Tanah Jambu to aid in police investigations.
