Man arrested for threatening couple in dispute over Japan tours
Police said the suspect is known to the victims, a couple who run a travel agency, and is from a different travel agency. PETALING JAYA : Police have arrested a 36-year-old man for allegedly threatening a couple who operate a travel agency after a business dispute about tour packages to Japan. Sepang police chief Norhizam Bahaman said the incident took place at a restaurant in Dengkil on July 22 last year. Norhizam said the suspect is known to the victims and is from a different travel agency. 'The couple lodged a police report, and we have opened an investigation paper,' he said in a statement. Police will apply for a remand order tomorrow. When contacted, Norhizam confirmed that the suspect was linked to a part-time tour guide who claimed she was threatened with death and beaten by a fellow Malaysian tour operator at a rented house in Japan on Jan 24. However, the man was not the same person involved in the incident in Japan. Harian Metro reported today that the woman said the tour operator slammed her head against a bed frame, pulled her hair, and stomped on her with his boots, leaving her covered in bruises. The woman said she lodged a police report in Japan and reported the matter to the Malaysian high commission in Tokyo. She subsequently filed a report at the Sepang police headquarters and underwent medical examinations upon returning to Malaysia.

Cops nab 4 for impersonating police in robberies in Selangor
Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said they seized a Perodua Myvi, three mobile phones and clothing believed to have been used in the robberies. PETALING JAYA : Police have arrested four people on suspicion of impersonating policemen to commit robberies in five cases in Selangor, state police chief Hussein Omar Khan said today. He said the four men, aged 33 to 38, were arrested on Saturday, Sinar Harian reported. He said initial investigations showed that the four were involved in robberies in Dengkil, Bukit Puchong, Bukit Raja and Kajang. He added that the same group is believed to have been involved in a robbery in Semenyih, a video of which was shared widely on social media early this month. 'In the May 4 incident, five men impersonated policemen to rob a 55-year-old retiree and three family members at their home in Semenyih. 'Based on CCTV footage, the suspects were wearing face masks and police vests, and broke into the house to steal jewellery, two mobile phones and around RM500 in cash,' he said at a press conference. Hussein said police also seized a Perodua Myvi, three mobile phones and clothing believed to have been used in the robberies. He said three of the suspects had been remanded until tomorrow to aid in investigations, but one was freed on police bail on Sunday. He added that police are still on the lookout for the fifth suspect. According to Hussein, the case is being investigated under Section 395 of the Penal Code for gang robbery, which provides for up to 20 years' imprisonment and whipping. 'The case is also being investigated under Section 170 of the Penal Code for impersonating policemen, which provides for up to two years' imprisonment, a fine or both if convicted,' he said. Hussein reminded the public to watch out for robberies involving similar tactics, saying the suspects tricked their victims into thinking they were conducting inspections.
