KLANG: A foreigner who is the main suspect in a robbery and rape case, was captured less than a day after he escaped half-naked from police custody.

The 27-year-old Indonesian national , who had three ball bearings implanted in his private parts, was originally due to be charged in court on Tuesday.

He, however, escaped from the North Klang district police headquarters by using his trousers to widen the gap of the window grille of a toilet at the Criminal Investigation Department at about 3pm on Monday.

The suspect then took off his lock-up shirt after he got wet crossing a stream during his escape.

"He ended up running naked until he arrived at some squatters in Sungai Kapar Indah and changed into a new set of clothes.

"He also managed to cut off one side of his handcuffs," said North Klang OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Yusoff Mamat when contacted on Tuesday.

ACP Yusoff said that the suspect then trekked around a palm oil estate in Kapar until nightfall before hailing a motorcyclist in Kapar town and asking him to send him to Kampung Baru Hicom in Shah Alam, where he lives.

ACP Yusoff said police managed to locate the suspect when he arrived at Kampung Baru Hicom at about 1am.

He added that the man had also broken into several houses to steal money, and also attempted to rape a girl in the village during his short-lived escape.

He was arrested at 7am on Tuesday.

The suspect was first arrested on June 13 after allegedly raping a 34-year-old woman after robbing her house in Kampung Rantau Panjang here.
