A screenshot of the security guard who shot Norazita on October 23. - The Malaysian Insider pic, November 10, 2013.The rogue security guard who shot bank officer Norazita Abu Bakar dead before running away with RM450,000 from the Ambank branch in Subang Jaya has been arrested in Johor this morning.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar confirmed the arrest but declined to elaborate saying a press statement will be issued later.
The suspect has been identified as a 37-year-old Sabahan who allegedly used a fake identity card to obtain employment as a security guard.
The mother of two had been working at Ambank for 16 years. A CCTV recording of the incident went viral not long after, sparking outrage from the public.
On the same day, police arrested three of the suspect's family members in Subang Jaya and recovered RM20,000, believed to be part of the loot.
Two of those arrested also worked as security guards and were found to be using fake MyKads.
All three are believed to be Indonesians and had been working in Malaysia for at least two years.
The Home Ministry later announced that the operating license of the security firm had been revoked as it had failed to comply with the necessary rules and regulations. Its deputy secretary-general Datuk Alwi Ibrahim said the most obvious failure by the security firm was that they had failed to vet the guard before employing him and giving him a firearm.
MORE TO COME.
