KUALA LUMPUR – Police arrested five individuals believed to be part of a syndicate selling Touch ‘N Go (TnG) and illegal reward point cards in Cheras yesterday.
Kuala Lumpur Commercial Crime Investigation Department chief Mohd Mahidisham Ishak said the five individuals arrested consisted of two men and three women aged between 30 to 46 years.
He said police confiscated one laptop, eight smartphones, 1,400 TnG cards, 5,200 reward point cards, receipts, cheque books, and card data readers during the raid at a condominium residence.
“We suspect the card reader is a device used to top up the TnG and point rewards cards illegally,” he said in a statement today.
Initial investigations revealed that the syndicate had started its operations since March last year, and all cards were illegally topped up for the Klang Valley market.
“The case is being investigated under Section 4 (1) of the Computer Crimes Act for making unauthorised access.
“All suspects will be remanded from today until Saturday,” he said.
He has also advised the public to not engage in any illegal top-up activities involving TnG or rewards points cards. – The Vibes, March 17, 2022
