The canines arrived at 1.50pm at the scene.
“We are now gathering all the information possible, from the scene and also the public.
“Police have also spoken to residents in the area and are also collecting all dashcam footage,” he said.
Fakhrudin also appealed to those in the area with dashcams to hand over any recordings which could be of use to the police in solving the case.
He also urged the public to refrain from sharing or spreading any false information which may jeopardise investigations.
“We will not hesitate to act against anyone found spreading any such rumours,” he said.
