Toy bricks for team-building mistaken for bomb in Sri Petaling
Brickfields police chief Hoo Chang Hook says the director of a company that organises such activities informed them the plastic box belonged to his company.
On Monday, a bomb disposal team was called to investigate a suspicious plastic box discovered in front of a shoplot in Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur. The box, initially flagged for elevated radiation levels, contained toy bricks intended for team-building exercises. Police revealed that the equipment belonged to a company that organizes such activities.
The box, holding 20 toy bricks, had been left behind by an employee after a team-building program held in Ipoh, Perak, on September 11 and 12. The employee, fatigued following the event, inadvertently left the equipment outside the shoplot on their way home. The atomic energy department later confirmed that the box contained no radioactive materials.
The incident was investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code, which deals with criminal intimidation.
