A 42-year-old civil servant and his brother have been arrested in Perlis on allegations of staging the disappearance of a Toyota Vellfire for insurance fraud. Police plan to dismantle the vehicle for its parts. The main suspect used his wife's black Toyota Vellfire to drive to Kuala Lumpur on July 16 for a course. He reported the vehicle missing on July 17, claiming it was stolen in Sungai Besi.
