00:01Police in Kuala Lumpur have arrested a 65-year-old man believed to be behind a series of ATM vandalism
00:08cases that caused an estimated 64,000 ringgit in damages.
00:13Central District Police Chief ACP Basri Sagoni said the suspect was arrested at 3.21pm on Wednesday.
00:21Officers seized a motorcycle, a helmet, clothing and a rock, believed to be the weapon used to carry out the
00:28attacks.
00:30According to preliminary investigations, the suspect allegedly smashed the ATM screens using the stone after growing frustrated when he was
00:39unable to withdraw money from one of the machines.
00:42That single moment of anger appears to have triggered a string of destruction across multiple locations.
00:49With this arrest, police say they have now solved five separate mischief cases linked to the smashed ATM screens, all
00:57reported in the Jinjang area.
01:00Investigations are still ongoing and the case will be referred to the public prosecutor once investigation papers are complete.
