AI SUMMARY [revised on review, verified against the sources in this file. Live DB still holds the shorter bulk-import summary — apply this to it.]
|
||
**Victims:** The owner of an aluminium factory in the West Meru industrial area near Klang, Malaysia; the on-duty security personnel were also targeted.
|
||
|
||
**Attackers:** A group of robbers; twelve men (including one Indonesian) were arrested in nine raids, and three more remained at large (Tan Jian Farn alias 'Q-Peng', 37; Herman Petrus, 41; and Abdul Rahim Mohamad Ali, 33). All the local suspects had prior criminal and drug records, while the arrested Indonesian had none.
|
||
|
||
**Attack Method:** The factory was broken into and robbed early in the morning across two incidents, on 27 April and 20 May 2022; the robbers tied up the security guards.
|
||
|
||
**Violence Used:** Detention — the on-duty security personnel were tied up to carry out the theft; no injuries were reported.
|
||
|
||
**Crypto Demanded/Stolen:** The robbers stole 180 bitcoin mining machines (ASICs) — not bitcoin itself — a loss put at hundreds of thousands of ringgit.
|
||
|
||
**Status:** Twelve men were arrested on 26–27 May and remanded for five days; cars, computers, phones and mining machines were seized, and police said the arrests solved three bitcoin-machine robbery cases in the area. Three suspects were still being sought; the case was opened under Section 395/397 of the Penal Code.
