Yesterday, two men were arrested in Teluk Intan for unlicensed money-lending and possessing ATM cards belonging to others during Ops Vulture, a police operation. The first suspect was apprehended at a Maybank ATM while withdrawing cash. Two ATM cards that did not belong to him and RM300 were found on his person. A second arrest came later, during a raid at a money-lending shop on Jalan Ah Cheong, where police discovered three more ATM cards and some gold jewelry with an estimated value of RM2,050.
The items were seized and are currently being investigated under Sections 420 and 424 of the Penal Code. Both suspects are currently in custody at the Hilir Perak District Police Headquarters and will be held until Sept 6 to further the investigation. The police emphasized the importance of not sharing ATM cards or allowing others to use them, even when incentivized with rewards.
They caution the public against engaging in suspicious activities involving bank accounts or ATM cards, both one's own and others'. Misuse of accounts and banking facilities for criminal purposes will result in strict legal consequences.
