Police have completed an investigation on a case of missing RM300,000 in cash from a money processing room at Bank Negara Malaysia in George Town.
Penang CID chief SAC Mazlan Kesah said eight employees of a financial institution including a woman, had been remanded and expected to be charged at the George Town court tomorrow.
“Their statements have been recorded. The investigation papers have been submitted to the office of the deputy public prosecutor,” he said in George Town today, adding that no other arrests were made and the money has not been found.
“Nonetheless, the police know where the money is and what they did with it. Investigations also showed part of the money was spent, given to others and used to settle debts.”
Meanwhile, in another development, Mazlan said police had identified several Indonesian gangs that have been actively involved in house break-in cases since early this year.
In this regard, police have set up a special team to track down the gangs, whose members are aged between 20 and 40.
“The gangs target new housing estates as most do not have grills and security systems. Five cases have been recorded in South West (four) and North East (one),” he said.
Earlier, Mazlan held a high-policing programme at the house of a woman, who was a house break-in victim in Teluk Kumbar High, near George Town.
In the incident at 1am on Feb 15, the house of the victim, identified only as Neoh, 67, was broken into by three men armed with parang and knives while she and four family members were asleep.
Her family lost more than RM10,000 in cash.
