KOTA BARU: Police yesterday arrested a man for recently changing the ownership of his former employer's vehicle using fake documents and without the latter's knowledge.
Kelantan police chief Datuk Muhamad Zaki Harun said the 51-year-old was detained in Machang about 2.20pm.
He added that police received the report about the fraud on April 18.
"In the report, the company owner, in his 20s, said he had appointed the suspect to handle his business projects in Jeli and Pasir Puteh in 2022.
"For the purpose, the owner has given the suspect a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). The suspect failed to carry out his job and was terminated by the company early this year.
"The company owner then demanded the suspect to hand over the MPV and other facilities to him, but the suspect refused to do so.
"The suspect used fake documents to change the car's ownership without the knowledge of the owner."
Zaki said checks on the suspect also showed that he was involved in another cheating case.
"The suspect has been remanded to assist police investigation into the case. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of Penal Code."
