Policemen Impersonators Arrested for Extortion
25 February 2007
Klang
Police have arrested two men, aged 22 and 44, for allegedly impersonating policemen and extorting money from unlicensed businesses and illegal immigrants in Kapar. They were caught red-handed while they were extorting money from a metal trader on Saturday evening.
Several weeks ago, four men, one of them in a chief inspector's uniform, tried to extort money from an unlicensed used goods trader. They offered the operator a police permit for a fee. The permit was given to the operator the next day but was found by police to be fake during a routine police operation last week.
The suspects are believed to be part of a group which has been active over the last few months. The men had in their car two sets of police uniforms, a handcuff, two police passes with their photos, and two knives.
The 44-year-old suspect has an ongoing trial for theft at the Kuala Kubu Magistrate court.
The suspects have been remanded for five days to aid police investigations.

11 Myanmar illegal immigrants were packed into a Proton Satria in a 450km journey from Kangar. Two policemen at the junction of Jalan Tun Perak and Jalan Raja Laut at 9:40am tried to stop the suspicious car as the windows were tinted and the car was driven erratically.
The car slowed down then sped away as the policemen approached it. The policemen, including more in seven other patrol cars, joined in a high speed chase that started at Jalan Tun Perak. Ten minutes later, the driver lost control of the car and rammed into a gate of an abandoned building along Jalan Ipoh Kecil at Sentul.
The driver, a grocery shop assistant and security guard from Perlis, tried to run away on foot but was caught by a policeman.
The illegals, aged between 14 and 42, did not have travel documents with them. They have been remanded at the Immigration Department.
The car had a false registration number plate and a false road tax disc.
The driver faces up to five years' jail, six strokes of the cane, and a fine between RM10,000 and RM50,000 for each immigrant that he held.

It is learnt that one of the men earlier had an argument with a motorist near a restaurant. He called on his friends and went looking for the motorist. They assaulted the three men and caused a slash on the mistaken man's head. They also smashed the windscreens of three cars before taking off on motorcycles.

Bank Account Books and ATM Cards Seized from Syndicate
21 February 2007
Shah Alam
Police have seized about 636 savings account books and 188 ATM cards from an illegal loan shark syndicate's house last week. The house along Lorong Batu Nilam, Bukit Tinggi, had such items with details of customers who were mostly factory and low-income workers.
It is believed that the syndicate has collected more than RM300,000 in the past six months from these victims who were from Puchong, Shah Alam, Klang and Subang Jaya. The debt collectors would withdraw all the money from the lenders' bank accounts, take their commission and return the remainder to the lender.
The case is being investigated under the Moneylenders Act. No arrests have been made but statements have been taken from the seven people found during the raid. The suspects can be jailed up to five years and fined up to a maximum of RM100,000, or both.

The incident happened after the parents had quarelled and police have remanded both of them.
On Sunday night, the 30-year-old wife had sent an SMS to the husband, a 28-year-old lorry driver, to ask him to return home. He reportedly had intentions of having a second wife. When the husband returned home at 11:40pm, he went to bed after seeing that the two boys were already laying in bed.
Police had to wake him up at 7am to find that the boys were already dead.
The police have classified the case under Section 302 of the Penal Code as murder and the couple will remain in police custody until 1 March 2007.

The judge fixed bail at RM3,000 each.
They were charged under Section 10 (a) (bb) of the Anti-Corruption Act 1997 (Act 575) for corruptly soliciting gratification and read together with Section 24 of the Penal Code (Act 574) for dishonestly causing wrongful gain to one person and wrongful loss to another person.
