Question

Accepted Answer

The robbery gang allegedly caused losses exceeding RM100,000 in Penang.

The police have apprehended five individuals believed to be part of a robbery syndicate that operated under the guise of conducting fogging activities. This group is suspected of being involved in 19 cases within Penang, resulting in financial losses estimated to be over RM100,000. The arrests were made in Kamunting, Perak, on February 8.
Syndicate Posed as Health Department Staff

The arrested men, aged between 19 and 27, impersonated personnel from the Health Department and pest control companies. They would request occupants to vacate premises for spraying purposes, using this opportunity to steal valuables such as electronic equipment and cash.
Involvement in Multiple Cases Across States

Investigations suggest the syndicate's activities extended beyond Penang, with an alleged involvement in a total of 51 cases. While 19 of these incidents occurred in Penang, the remaining cases are believed to have taken place in Kedah, Perak, and Negri Sembilan.
Seized Items and Ongoing Search

During the arrests, the police recovered a mosquito repellent spray pump, chemicals, a mobile phone, and a four-wheel-drive vehicle used by the gang. Authorities are also seeking a 27-year-old man named Mohd Nuzul Che Man from Kamunting, Perak, to assist with the ongoing investigation.
