Kuala Lumpur: Police have arrested 18 Chinese nationals for suspected involvement with an online cheating syndicate operating in Malaysian city Kuala Lumpur.

Bukti Aman Integrity and Standards Compliance Department (JIPS) director Datuk Azri Ahmad was quoted as saying by Bernama that the suspects were believed to have been active for the past two months, targeting Chinese nationals in their scams which raked up profits of up to RM300,000 a month.

The suspects were picked up in several premises during joint raids conducted by Bukit Aman and Kuala Lumpur police under the Operasi Pelican, he said.

“As a result of the raids, police seized various equipment used for conducting their activities, including handphones, computers, electronic equipment and RM126,000 in cash,” he was quoted as saying in a statement as reported by Bernama.

Azri said JIPS would conduct further investigations if police personnel were found to be involved with the syndicate’s activities.
