Two more suspects held

By BERNARD SEE

PENANG: Two more two men, including a MAS security guard, were arrested in connection with the robbery of US$12.7mil (RM47mil) in microchips at the MASKargo Complex in Batu Maung here.

The security guard, in his mid-20s, was picked up at the cargo complex at 7.30pm on Monday. The other was nabbed in Tanah Merah, Kelantan, at 2.45am yesterday.

Sources said the two men were implicated after police questioned the two freight forwarding employees who were arrested at the complex on Monday.

Sources said the suspect from Kelantan was not directly involved in the daring 2.15am heist on Monday. Police are trying to determine the 35-year-old man's role in the robbery.

The arrest of the three complex employees showed that the robbery was an inside job as information on the delivery of the microchips could only be obtained by an insider.

State police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Koh Hong Sun said the three Penang suspects have been remanded for five days.

“Police have deployed helicopters to look out for the two container trucks,” he said.

“The northern region marine police have also been directed to increase their checks on outgoing boats, which could be used to smuggle the loot out of the country,” he said.

CID director Comm Datuk Christopher Wan said more closed-circuit-TV cameras should be installed outside the complex so that all vehicles could be monitored.

“The MAS security guards should also thoroughly check all incoming and outgoing vehicles to prevent the recurrence of such an incident.

“All the security staff should note down the (phone) numbers of the police’s Rakan COP hotline or the nearest police station so that help can be rendered the moment a crime is reported,” he said.

He urged all cargo complex managements nationwide to take proactive steps to beef up their security and not wait for any incident to happen before taking action.

DCP Koh and Balik Pulau OCPD Supt Mohd Hatta Mohd Zain met personnel from the cargo complex security department, Malaysia Airports Bhd and state Customs and Excise Department yesterday to discuss tighter security on the premises.

DCP Koh said he suggested that a direct hotline from the complex’s security department to the Balik Pulau police operations room be set up.

“An intercom between the freight forwarders warehouse and the security department could also be set up. All the guards at the complex should also be armed,” he said.

News in the newspapers could very well be just a bull crap story. Perhaps it's just stories to make the citizens believe in something. But well, to us, it's just reading pleasure and stuff that we would use as chatting subject when together with friends. As for the cops, they must've took a big bundle of the stock. I totally do not believe the cops would be all that good to recover and return back every single item. Such is the way of the malaysian authorities. Or maybe the authorities are not getting anything, that's why they blow the cover of this operation.

they want to clear their names so they have to find the goods back, but its already 2 days, those containers could have been split up and transported into thailand within hours......

but one of the suspect arrested inside the airport cargo centre? still dare to go back to work ? if thats the culprit then it sounds stupid....
