TAXI driver preyed on young female passengers, taking them on joy rides before forcing them into his house in Taman Muda, Ampang, and raping them, Harian Metro reported. So far, five girls have fallen victim to the man, who kept recordings of each sexual assault on his handphone and had threatened to circulate them if the girls go to the police.

Two, however, lodged police reports while the others decided not to, the daily reported. The paper quoted a police source as saying that investigations revealed that the 45-year-old suspect used fake registration plate numbers, which he changed each time after a rape. Apparently, the man had been doing this for years.

One of his victims was a friend's daughter, who was allegedly raped last year and subsequently harassed by him constantly. The 15-year-old, who could no longer tolerate his behaviour, told her sister about the rape before lodging a report last Saturday. An Ampang district police team tracked down the man and arrested him at 9pm on Tuesday in Jalan Imbi.
