Malaysia: Duo Nabbed For Trying To Hijack An ATM Machine with a Kancil

Two teenagers attempted to make dash with RM160, 000 from an ATM machine.

The duo attempted to wrench and pry open an ATM machine by hooking up the front of the withdrawal machine to a Perodua Kancil but failed when a patrol car responded to the alarm triggered by the duo at around 4.00am this morning.

The patrol car from the nearby Pontian police station responded to the anti-theft alarm within minutes and rushed to the Benut Post Office.

According to Superintendent Zakaria Abdul Rahman, the patrol car in question found the two teenagers hooking up the ATM machine to their Perodua Kancil with steel cables.

After realising the presence of the patrol car, the two suspects tried to flee towards the bushes behind the post office.

The suspect who was driving their getaway vehicle was arrested but his accomplice was lucky enough to disappear in the bushes.

However, his luck ran out when he was caught at around 7.15am later this morning, 1km nearby the scene where he was pretending to buy ‘Nasi Lemak’.

The first suspect arrested is a 21-year-old production operator stationed in Singapore, hailing from Perak while the second suspect is a 19-year-old teenager who works as a furniture salesman.

Preliminary investigations by the police revealed that the two suspects met through the social application, ‘WeChat’ some time ago and formulated the plan to jack the ATM machine stationed outside the post office.

The police have detained the suspects and further investigations are ongoing.

Both suspects have no criminal records but police will be running urine-tests on the both of them.
