Man smashes five bank machines after failed ATM withdrawal in Sarikei, injures one person

SARIKEI, Nov 2 — Angered after failing to withdraw cash from an automated teller machine (ATM), a man vandalised five banking machines using a machete before allegedly injuring a young man who tried to stop him in an incident on Jalan Masjid Lama, near here, early yesterday morning.

Sarikei district police chief Supt Aswandy Anis said the 38-year-old suspect is believed to have damaged two ATM machines, two cash deposit machines (CDM), and one cheque deposit machine at a bank around 12.05am.

He said the initial investigation found that the suspect acted this way due to dissatisfaction after failing to withdraw money from the ATM, and also admitted to being intoxicated at the time of the incident.

“After the incident, the suspect is believed to have fled by driving a Toyota Hilux against the flow of traffic before crashing into a road divider on Jalan Masjid Lama,” he said in a statement yesterday.

Aswandy said that at a nearby location, a 21-year-old man sustained severe injuries to his left hand after allegedly being struck with a machete by the suspect while attempting to stop him.

He said the victim was then taken to Sarikei Hospital for further treatment.

“The suspect then surrendered at the Sarikei police station and the police also seized a Toyota Hilux and a machete believed to have been used in the incident,” he said.

According to him, the urine screening test found the suspect positive for the drugs, ketamine and benzodiazepine, while a check revealed that the man had no previous criminal record.

The case is being investigated under Section 427 and Section 326 of the Penal Code, Section 45(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, and Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. — Bernama

沙里基，11月2日讯——一名男子因无法从自动取款机取款而恼怒，用砍刀砸毁了五台银行自动取款机，随后据称在昨天清晨发生在沙里基附近旧清真寺路的一起事件中，一名试图阻止他的年轻人受伤。

沙里基警区主任阿斯万迪·阿尼斯警监表示，这名38岁的嫌疑人据信在凌晨12点05分左右损坏了一家银行的两台自动取款机、两台现金存款机和一台支票存款机。

他说，初步调查发现，嫌疑人因未能从自动取款机取款而心生不满，并承认事发时处于醉酒状态。

“据信，事件发生后，嫌疑人驾驶一辆丰田Hilux皮卡逆向行驶逃离现场，随后在Jalan Masjid Lama撞上了道路隔离带，”他昨天在一份声明中说。

阿斯万迪表示，在附近一处地点，一名 21 岁男子在试图阻止嫌疑人时，被嫌疑人用砍刀砍伤了左手，伤势严重。

他说，受害者随后被送往沙里基医院接受进一步治疗。

“嫌疑人随后向沙里基警察局自首，警方还缴获了一辆丰田Hilux皮卡和一把据信是作案凶器的砍刀，”他说。

据他所说，尿检结果显示嫌疑人对氯胺酮和苯二氮卓类药物呈阳性反应，而调查显示该男子此前并无犯罪记录。

此案正依据《刑法》第427条和第326条、《1987年道路交通法》第45(1)条以及《1952年危险药物法》第15(1)(a)条进行调查。——马新社
