George Town police chief Soffian Santong said the money was later found hidden in a car after two workers had admitted making a false report.
Penang islanders had suffered traffic snarls in the afternoon as police mounted roadblocks on major roads, with only one lane on the Penang Bridge open to mainland-bound traffic as police.conducted checks.
Sofian said the two men will be taken to the magistrate’s court tomorrow for a remand order for investigations into perjury, he said. Earlier in the day, police received an emergency call claiming that two men on a motorcycle had taken some RM120,000, representing three days of restaurant takings while the money was being taken to the bank.
An auditor and a chief cashier had told police that the two men on a dark blue motorcycle, wearing police vests and balaclavas, had stopped them at a junction not far away from the shop, in Bayan Baru.
They had demanded to see the identity cards of the two workers, while one man, knife in hand, demanded a bag containing the cash.
In the police report, the workers said they were about to bank in RM122,555, the shop’s three-day revenue collection from Dec 6 to Dec 8. They said they transported the cash to the bank by motorcycle regularly.
Sofian said the men will be investigated for providing false information to a public servant, an offence which carries a penalty of six months’ jail or RM2,000 fine or both on conviction. - FMT
