Two men suspected of being criminals were killed in a shootout with police at the entrance ramp of the North-South Expressway (PLUS) at 8:05 am on Saturday.

Kedah Police Chief, Datuk Fisol Salleh, said that prior to the incident, police officers patrolling the area encountered a suspiciously driven four-wheel-drive vehicle and ordered the suspects to stop.

A search of the vehicle uncovered two pistols, a revolver and a semi-automatic, several live bullets, a machete, and various tools believed to be used in their criminal activities.

One of the suspects, aged 41, had over 40 prior criminal records, while the identity of the second man remains unknown due to the absence of identification documents.

So far, the forensic unit has recovered three bullet casings at the scene. The bodies of both suspects have been sent to Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital in Alor Setar for autopsy. The case is being investigated under Section 307 of the Penal Code.

Meanwhile, Acting Director of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) at Bukit Aman, Datuk Fadil Marsus, who also visited the scene, said the two men are believed to be part of a group involved in various serious crimes.
