Four policemen from the Sentul police headquarters have been linked to a RM5,000 snatch theft case in Jalan Ipoh last week. They were alleged to have assisted in snatching a bag containing cash belonging to a businessman who was walking behind a hotel in Jalan Ipoh last week at 6pm.

A man in his 40s was arrested on Tuesday, believed to be the mastermind. The four corporals and constables were released on bail Tuesday, a week after they were remanded.

Two men on a motorcycle rode past the businessman and witnesses led police to the arrest of a corporal the next day. The suspected officer led to the arrest of the other three policemen, who have been with the force for more than three years. One of them had a disciplinary problem and was under suspension when he was arrested.

Two men in their 20s are suspected to be members of an international credit card forgery syndicate and have been arrested in Bayan Lepas when they went to a courier company to send packages of cards.

On 19 October 2007, the men were arrested with about 100 cards embossed with security magnetic stripes and names of foreign banks in the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy and France. The cards would be encoded with user data by syndicate members upon reaching overseas markets.

As credit card companies in Malaysia have switched to using cards with microchips, known as smart cards, such syndicates resort to selling magnetic stripe cards internationally.

The duo are expected to be charged in court soon.
