KUALA LUMPUR: Six foreigners, all men, were detained by police on suspicion of breaking into an office that belongs to a company selling computer equipment and computer parts in Wangsa Melawati, here, and escaping with RM50,000 cash.
The suspects, aged between 31 and 41, were detained after police raided a condominium in Metro Prima, here on Thursday. They also seized 38 foreign currency notes found in the unit.
Wangsa Maju district police chief Superintendent Ashari Abu Samah said initial investigations revealed that the suspects were also involved in two other cases in Shah Alam, Selangor, where they had broken into the premises after sneaking in through the roof.
"The suspects were remanded since Thursday. We have since extended their remand order for another four days starting today, to assist in investigations under Section 457 of the Penal Code," he said.
Police said one more suspect was still at large. – Bernama
