Two men arrested with ATM cards belonging to others
Police say the first arrest was at an ATM where a man was making a cash withdrawal, after which another man was arrested at a money-lending premises.
Two men have been arrested in Teluk Intan, Perak, on charges of unlicensed money-lending and possession of ATM cards that did not belong to them.
The first arrest took place at a Maybank ATM, where a man was withdrawing cash. Police discovered two ATM cards that belonged to other individuals, along with RM300 in cash, on the man.
Following leads provided by this individual, police conducted a search at a money-lending establishment located in Jalan Ah Cheong, which resulted in the arrest of a second suspect. During this raid, authorities found three ATM cards and several pieces of gold jewellery.
Hilir Perak police chief Chua Kok Lian stated that both men will be held in custody until September 6 to aid the ongoing investigation. Chua issued a warning to the public against handing over their ATM cards or permitting others to use them, even when offered rewards, and cautioned against engaging in any suspicious activities related to bank accounts or ATM cards. He emphasized that misusing accounts and banking facilities for criminal purposes would lead to severe legal consequences.
