Police to seek Interpol help over Sarawak convenience store attacks
KUCHING: Police will seek assistance from international law enforcement agencies, including Interpol, to track several people believed to have fled the country in connection with attacks on convenience stores in several parts of Sarawak recently.
KUCHING: Police are set to request Interpol's assistance to track down suspects who allegedly fled the country after attacks on convenience stores across Sarawak. Sarawak Police Commissioner Datuk Mohamad Zainal Abdullah disclosed that three individuals had been apprehended, while around ten others are suspected to be part of the group.
Zainal stated that the incidents could be traced back to a business dispute, implicating the sale of top-ups possibly used for online gambling. He also mentioned the misuse of business licenses by some convenience stores involved in the transactions. Police are currently writing to local authorities for further action. On September 21, Zainal announced that the police were pursuing individuals connected to attacks on convenience stores in Kuching and Sri Aman on the previous day.
Explosive or flammable materials were thrown into the stores during these incidents. Zainal mentioned that police are nearing the completion of their investigation into the Air Medical Services (FDS) helicopter crash in Long Lellang, but the cause remains undetermined, possibly due to technical issues.
