(Bernama pic) NILAI : Police shot dead two men believed to have been actively involved in robbery and drug trafficking in the parking lot of a condominium building here at 10pm yesterday. Bukit Aman criminal investigation department deputy director (intelligence/operations) Fadil Marsus said the suspects, in their 40s and 20s, had been involved in house, factory, and courier hub robbery cases across several states, including Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, and Perak. 'The 40-year-old suspect had 76 criminal convictions related to narcotics and violence, while the other suspect had 11 similar convictions,' he told reporters at the condominium's parking area just after midnight. Negeri Sembilan police chief Ahmad Dzaffir Mohd Yussof was also present. Fadil said the suspects had attempted to flee in a silver-coloured car but were intercepted by the police, resulting in a shootout where the police vehicle was struck by the suspects' gunfire. He said no officers were injured. Authorities believe the suspects might have been linked to violent crimes in other states as well. Police found two firearms: a semi-automatic pistol and a revolver. Fadil said the suspects' criminal group was involved in a robbery at a courier centre in Klang about two months ago, and that based on records, it was also linked to secret society activities. He said police had hunted down the remaining members of the group through a series of raids at several residential units around Selangor. 'The raids involved arrests and drug seizures, with further details to be provided later,' he said. Fadil said the suspects were believed to have been on the move, renting units at the condominium here as temporary hideouts. 'There are many other locations… the suspects were believed to have rented a Toyota vehicle, the registration plate of which was only used today. We believe the car's registration plate was replaced every two days,' he said.

Police bust online scam syndicate in Seremban
SEREMBAN: Police have crippled an online investment scam known as the 'Ah Kit Group' following a raid at Taman Bukit Kepayang here. Negri Sembilan police chief Datuk Ahmad Dzaffir Mohd Yussof said a team from the state Commercial Crime Investigation Department arrested nine locals, including a woman, based on intelligence related to the illegal scheme. The suspects are aged between 21 and 35. He said police also seized 33 mobile phones, nine laptops, seven vehicles and 14 notebooks in last Sunday's raid. 'Investigations revealed the group had been operating since January, using a house as a call centre to promote non-existent online investment schemes through messaging platforms such as Tantan, Tinder, Telegram and Facebook,' he said according to Bernama. Ahmad Dzaffir said the syndicate offered RM3,000 salaries to operators at the call centre, and used gated residential areas as hostels and operational bases. He said the group lured victims by claiming to represent legitimate companies and promising high returns on investments.

"Investigations revealed the syndicate had been operating since January, using a house as a call centre to promote non-existent online investment schemes through messaging platforms such as Tantan, Tinder, Telegram, and Facebook. The group primarily targeted victims from neighbouring countries," he said in a statement today. He said the syndicate offered RM3,000 salaries to call centre operators and used gated residential areas as hostels and operational bases. Ahmad Dzaffir said the group lured victims by claiming to represent legitimate companies and promising high returns on investments. "Once the victims transferred their money, the syndicate gave various excuses to delay or avoid payouts, eventually cutting off all contact," he said. Although the victims were not Malaysians, he reminded the public to remain vigilant and not be easily deceived by online investment offers that promise quick and lucrative returns. All suspects have been remanded for four days starting April 28. The case is being investigated under Sections 420 and 120(b) of the Penal Code. – BERNAMA
