GEORGE TOWN, Jan 16 — The police crippled a gang involved in the alleged theft of Telekom Malaysia cables worth RM910,448 in Penang and Kedah after arresting a subcontractor appointed by the company along with 13 of his employees.

“A few days before that, the company received a complaint that some areas around Tanjung Bungah were experiencing internet disruption suspected to be caused by cable theft before it was reported to the police. He said the police then arrested eight individuals, including a woman, in several locations around Sungai Petani, Kedah on the same day, whereby three men were employees of the sub-contractor while the other five were purchasers of the cables stolen by the syndicate.

“All those arrested were aged between 27 and 47, and urine tests found seven of them positive for drugs, while 14 of the 19 individuals arrested had between two to 12 criminal records each,” he said.
