After two years on the run, 3 Singaporean were arrested in Johor for defrauding RM3.17 million.
Three Singaporean businessmen wanted for the loss of RM3.17 million from a money changer in Johor two years ago were eventually apprehended by the law.
The first Singaporean to be detained, according to The Star, was a 54-year-old businessman who crossed the Causeway to Malaysia for a family vacation a few days ago.
His arrest led to the arrest of the other two Singaporean fugitives, ages 49 and 48, suspected of stealing RM3.17 million on May 2, 2020.
Amran Md Jusin, the chief of commercial crimes in Johor, told the daily that police are working with Interpol to find the Malaysian wanted for criminal breach of trust.
According to the news source, the Malaysian guy, 49, had worked as a runner for the Johor Baru money changer for eight years and had assisted in the robbery.
To convince his coworkers and security guards to leave, the Malaysian allegedly pretended to have chest issues and drove the vehicle to Danga Bay, where he shared the money with the three Singaporeans.
According to The Star, the 54-year-old Singaporean has major medical issues and is out on bail after police recorded his statement, but his 49-year-old and 48-year-old compatriots are being held in custody to assist with the investigation.
