What amount of money was allegedly stolen by the driver?

Question

Accepted Answer

The driver allegedly stole RM3,000 in company sales collections.

The driver of a frozen food lorry fabricated a story of being robbed and stabbed to conceal the alleged theft of RM3,000 from his employer's sales collection. Police investigations revealed the fabricated nature of the incident after the man lodged a report claiming he was attacked.
Fabrication of Robbery and Stabbing

The 32-year-old driver initially reported that three men had robbed him and stabbed him in the abdomen along Jalan Minden 1, Gelugor. He claimed the incident occurred at approximately 7:45 pm. Preliminary medical examination confirmed a stab wound measuring 3.5 cm deep, for which he received treatment at Penang Hospital.
Police Investigation Findings

However, further police investigation, led by Timur Laut police chief ACP Abdul Rozak Muhammad, concluded that the man had neither been robbed nor stabbed. The probe confirmed that the driver had spent the company's sales proceeds and subsequently invented the robbery and stabbing narrative to mislead his employer.
Legal Ramifications for False Reports

ACP Abdul Rozak Muhammad issued a warning against the public filing false police reports or providing misleading information. He highlighted that such actions constitute an offence punishable under Section 182 of the Penal Code, underscoring the serious consequences of fabricating incidents.
