Odaily Planet Daily News: Seven local police officers, along with five men, broke into a residence in Kajang, Selangor, late at night, threatening and extorting Chinese tourists. Ultimately, the victims were forced to transfer approximately 200,000 Ringgit (about 352,000 RMB) via cryptocurrency. After an investigation, the police acted quickly and successfully arrested the officers involved. Sources revealed that the incident occurred around 11 p.m. on February 5 at a residence in Country Heights, Kajang. That night, eight Chinese tourists were resting inside when they were suddenly broken into by 12 men, some wearing reflective police jackets and presenting police IDs, claiming to be police officers. The group entered the house, forcibly checked everyone’s phones and laptops, copied relevant data, demanded and photographed passport information, and accused them of engaging in scams in Cambodia. However, after inspection, the police found no evidence of any illegal activity, and passport records showed that the Chinese tourists inside the house had never traveled to Cambodia.
The involved police officers continued to threaten the Chinese tourists, demanding 400,000 Ringgit (about 705,000 RMB), or they would report them to immigration authorities, leading to their arrest. Fearing for their safety and that of their female companions, one victim sought help from their employer in China. Ultimately, following the suspects’ instructions, they transferred about 200,000 Ringgit (about 352,000 RMB) to a designated cryptocurrency wallet. After the transfer was completed, the suspects quickly left the scene, warning the victims to vacate the residence within two days or they would return. (Cover News)
