Two men arrested over suspected involvement in Macau scams


BALIK PULAU: The Penang police have arrested two men believed to be involved in Macau Scam syndicates in two separate cases recently, Barat Daya district police chief Supt Kamarul Rizal Jenal said.

In the first case, a man in his 30s was arrested in Taman Ria Jaya, Sungai Petani, Kedah two days ago over his suspected involvement in a Macau Scam that caused a woman to lose RM28,000 after she was deceived into believing that she had RM36,000 in tax arrears and convinced her to transfer RM28,000 to resolve the problem.
