LAHAD DATU, March 17 (NNN-BERNAMA) — The Commander of Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCom) Datuk Hazani Ghazali\u00a0today denied the involvement of any Esscom personnel in the random\u00a0shooting incident at a plantation in Beluran, about 200km from here, last Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said in the 4.32pm incident, two four-wheel-drive vehicles occupied by a group of men, aged 33-44, and who were masquerading as ESSCom personnel, had driven to the plantation main gate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey then harassed the security guard on duty to allow them inside for hunting purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe security guard refused to allow them in, after which one of the men, who was armed, fired several shots into the air, from outside the gate,\u201d he said in a statement today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hazani said after firing the shots, the men collected the bullet shells and left the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A police report has been lodged at the Beluran district police headquarters, Hazani said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said police are on hot on the heels of the suspects and are also investigating the type of firearm used in the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If members of the public have doubts on the identity of individuals, or should they require identification confirmation of ESSCom personnel, they can call the ESSCom Operations Centre at 089-863181,” he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
