Police discovered two ATM cards that belonged to other individuals, along with RM300 in cash, on the man.\n\nFollowing 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.\n\nHilir 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.",
