GEORGE TOWN: Ten Mat Rempit came up with a most creative reply when asked why they abandoned their motorcycles and fled from a police operation they claimed they were frightened off by “ghosts”.
“We thought we saw ghosts on the road, that's why we ran,” they said.
This unusual answer brought a short burst of laughter among several policemen near enough to hear the excuse.
The 10 were among 100 Mat Rempit and pillion riders rounded up during a three-hour operation along Jalan Lembah Permai in Tanjung Bungah here, which started at 1am on Saturday.
Upon seeing the authorities, many tried to escape. Some even ran to a nearby cemetery.
A police spokesman said 20 personnel from the North-East district traffic department took part in the operation.
