MIRI: Six men who threatened a man while he was looking for jungle produce on Thursday evening have been remanded for four days.
Miri police chief ACP Gan Tian Kee, when contacted yesterday, said the six suspects were picked up on Friday and the case was being investigated under Section 33 of the Fire Arms Act 1960.
The incident unfolded at about 3pm when the 30-something complainant was on his way to search for jungle produce somewhere near Sungai Rait Bakam.
Along the way, he was irked by the driving of a garbage-lorry driver.
It was understood the lorry driver became upset, went to fetch five fellow lorry drivers, and went looking for the complainant who criticised him earlier.
One of the suspects even fired a shot using an air pump gun to scare off the complainant.
