PETALING JAYA: Two more suspects have been arrested in the ongoing investigation into a Macau scam that caused a 90-year-old woman to lose RM3.83 thousand.
Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said the two were arrested at a restaurant in Shah Alam on September 3.
“The police have also seized three phones belonging to the suspects,” he said in a statement on Monday (September 9).
The 90-year-old woman lost RM3.83 thousand after receiving a call from an individual on April 30 who claimed to be from Poslaju Malaysia and that there was a package with her ATM and ID cards.
Later, her call was forwarded to two bogus police officers who told her she was involved in a money laundering syndicate.
He then followed his instructions fearfully and transferred his money to seven companies from April 20 to June 15.
A police report was made on June 28 after she realized she had been misled.
Investigations into the case have resulted in at least nine arrests, not counting the two additional suspects who had just been captured.
They were captured after police tracked down the money, which led them to seven companies.
