POLICE have solved seven house break-in cases in the Hulu Terengganu district, with the arrests of three family members, suspected to be part of the Fahmi Gang.

Hulu Terengganu district police chief Mohd Adli Mat Daud said all the suspects were nabbed in two separate raids in Pudu, Kuala Lumpur and Kampung Temala in Marang on Saturday and yesterday.

He said two of the suspects – a husband and wife – were detained at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur after they had just closed a deal on the sale of jewellery with an agent there.

“The married couple, aged 38 and 28 respectively, operate car wash and beauty salon businesses.

“Meanwhile, the main suspect detained at his house in Kampung Temala is the younger brother of the female suspect,” he told a press conference at the Hulu Terengganu district police headquarters.

Adli said following the arrest, police seized jewellery, mobile phones and cash. All the seizures are estimated to be worth RM100,000.

He said checks found the main suspect had three previous criminal records for a drug-related offence and had just been released from prison last January.  

The suspects have been remanded for four days from Saturday to assist in investigations into the cases. – Bernama, June 6, 2022.
