According to Chua Kok Lian, the chief of the Hilir Perak police, the first arrest took place at a Maybank ATM when a man was withdrawing cash. Officers discovered two ATM cards belonging to other individuals and RM300 in cash on him. Following leads provided by the first suspect, police conducted a search at a money-lending business on Jalan Ah Cheong, resulting in the arrest of a second man. During this raid, three ATM cards and several pieces of gold jewelry were recovered.\n\nChua stressed the importance of not disclosing ATM card details or allowing others to use them, even when offered incentives, and cautioned against suspicious activities involving bank accounts or ATM cards. He advised the public to avoid engaging in any fraudulent dealings and warned that misusing accounts and banking facilities for criminal purposes would result in severe legal consequences. The two arrested men will be held in custody until September 6 to aid the ongoing investigation.",
