“The other eight suspects have been remanded until July 1 and their remand orders would probably be extended to complete the investigation,” he told reporters after a standard operating procedure compliance check at several factories here today.
In the incident at 1.30am, a group of men broke into the premises and fled with the safe.
Following that, police arrested 10 suspects, aged between the 20s and 50s, including three policemen, a sergeant and two corporals, in a series of arrests around Alor Setar.-BERNAMA
