Four security guards were arrested for allegedly stealing RM145,000 from a bank automated teller machine (ATM) along Jalan Air Itam. A police report was made on Monday and the four were remanded hours later. The guards had entered the ATM room via the back door and broke into the ATM early Sunday morning.

Three bank staff were interviewed by the police as they believe it is an inside job as the security cameras were not operational that day during the theft.

Police have arrested three people, including a couple, in relation with the murder of a 36-year-old woman and her 3-year-old daughter who were burnt alive in their car.

The couple, a 34-year-old man and a 18-year-old woman, made a dubious police report about the case at the Kluang police station on Saturday morning. They were nabbed shortly thereafter.

Police believed that the victims had gone to the couple’s house in Taman Saga, Kulai to deliver some direct selling goods on Friday night. They were then taken to Batu 6 of the Kluang-Mersing road and burnt alive.

The post-mortem study showed that the two had died from smoke inhalation.

The three suspects have been remanded until 10 November 2007.
