KUALA LUMPUR, 10 Nov. — The investigation into the disappearance of a bag containing RM1 million in cash, which was initially reported missing after a security company lifted it from a bank in Ampang Point but was later recovered, has been completed.

Ampang Jaya district police chief ACP Mohd Azam Ismail said the investigation document was being updated and would be forwarded to the Deputy Public Prosecutor for further action.

“The two security guards, a 52-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman, who were detained to assist in the investigation, were released on police bail yesterday,” he said when contacted today.

Last Wednesday, the two security guards were arrested at 10 p.m. following reports that the bag containing the cash had gone missing earlier that day.

The suspects were remanded in custody for four days to assist in the investigation under Article 379 of the Penal Code for theft.

The bag was reported missing at 3.55pm but was later discovered by members of the public in the middle of the road on Jalan Hulu Kelang heading towards the Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Expressway on the same day.

It is assumed that both suspects were in the security van carrying the bag of cash totaling 1,071,000 lei on the day of the incident.

It is suspected that the bag fell from the vehicle while it was navigating a sharp curve along the route. — Bernama
