Police constable charged with attempting to steal colleague's belongings
YAN: A police constable was charged in the magistrate's court here today with attempting to steal his colleague's belongings early last month.
Ahmad Fahmi Ahmad Hasbullah, a 29-year-old police constable, appeared in court charged with attempting to steal belongings from his colleague. The incident allegedly took place at the Yan district police headquarters Traffic Complaints Counter on September 2nd at 7:20pm. The charge sheet suggests Ahmad Fahmi intended to take a backpack containing the victim's wallet, keys, and jacket.
He pleaded not guilty and stated his case before magistrate Anis Suraya Ahmad. Prosecutors accused him of committing the offence under Section 379 of the Penal Code, which could result in up to seven years in jail, a fine, or both. Deputy public prosecutor Nik Nurhazirah Tuan Yahya represented the prosecution, while Ahmad Fahmi was represented by lawyer Nurul Nur Hidayah Roslin.
The prosecution sought a RM6,000 bail, while the defense argued for a lower amount, citing the accused's cooperation during investigations and financial circumstances. Ahmad Fahmi earns around RM3,000 a month and supports two children, aged two and three, with his unemployed wife. The court granted bail at RM3,000 with one surety, and Ahmad Fahmi paid the bail.
