Sisters nabbed in Lahad Datu after shopping spree with lost debit card
KOTA KINABALU: What three sisters thought was a "paid" shopping spree turned into a costly lesson when they were arrested for misusing a lost debit card in Lahad Datu. The three women reportedly came across the misplaced card and used it for purchases in several malls around town. Lahad Datu OCPD Asst Comm Dzulbaharin Ismail said on Tuesday (Aug 5) that the owner of the card lodged a report after discovering that the card was missing. The issuing bank then found several transactions made using payWave, and this led to the arrest of the three women, he added. ACP Dzulbaharin said the women are being investigated for unauthorised access to computer material under the Computer Crimes Act 1997. In an unrelated case, two people were detained for providing false information in a MyKad application at the National Registration Department (NRD) in Sandakan on Monday (Aug 4). According to the Sandakan NRD, the first arrest involved a woman suspected of giving false information as the guarantor in an application. The second arrest involved an Indonesian man at the same premises for allegedly using another person's birth certificate as his own to apply for a Malaysian identity card. Both suspects are being investigated under the National Registration Regulations 1990. Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel for breaking news alerts and key updates!
