A suspected burglar has been killed in a shootout with police at the Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park, KKIP industrial area in Sabah, early this morning.

The suspect, without identification documents, is believed to be involved in a series of house break-in cases in the district.

In the 2am incident, Sabah deputy police commissioner Datuk Razarudin Husain said police on patrol near the 1Borneo hypermall area spotted the suspect on a motorcycle riding suspiciously.

The suspect sped off when told to stop which led to a five-minute chase of some six kilometres away before the suspect crashed into a road divider.

Policemen then heard gunshots, got down from their vehicle and took cover before returning fire and hit the man.

They found a set of tools used for break-ins in a bag, a .38 pistol beside the suspect, while three out of five bullets inside the pistol were fired.
