Police confident of solving microchip heist after arrest of suspects

PENANG: Most of the 20 robbers behind the RM47mil microchip heist at the Batu Maung Second Air Cargo Complex in November have been arrested. Bukit Aman CID director Comm Datuk Christopher Wan said the suspects were picked up in various parts of the country in the past few weeks.

“We now have a number of significant leads and are in the process of identifying the mastermind of the Nov 20 heist. “We are confident of solving the case. We also hope to recover the microchips which may or may not be in the country,” he said.

Comm Wan was speaking to reporters after opening a forum on Contemporary Security Issues Related To Target Hardening at Universiti Sains Malaysia here Thursday. Malaysia Airlines Cargo Sdn Bhd senior general manager Datuk Ong Jyh Jong recently revealed that no major cases have been reported at the complex since security was beefed up. Guards on duty at the complex were now armed while CCTV cameras have been installed at strategic points
