Padang Besar police bust suspected Vellfire insurance scam, arrest four including civil servant

Four men, including a civil servant, were apprehended for allegedly orchestrating the disappearance of a Toyota Vellfire to make a fraudulent insurance claim due to financial difficulties.

The main suspect, a 42-year-old civil servant, purportedly staged the vehicle's disappearance while in Kuala Lumpur, with police later discovering the vehicle was dismantled for parts.

The suspects, aged between 32 and 45, were arrested in Padang Besar and Arau, and are now under investigation for motor vehicle theft.

Authorities emphasize the severity of misusing police reports for personal gain, as it jeopardizes investigations and wastes resources.

KANGAR, Sept 19 — Four men, including a civil servant, were arrested for allegedly staging the disappearance of a Toyota Vellfire to facilitate an insurance claim following financial problems faced by one of them.

Padang Besar police chief ACP Mohd Shokri Abdullah said the suspects, aged between 32 and 45, were arrested in raids at three locations in the Padang Besar and Arau districts at about 5.15pm Thursday.

He said the main suspect, a 42-year-old civil servant in Perlis, had travelled to Kuala Lumpur on July 16 to attend a course, using his wife’s black Toyota Vellfire.

“On July 17, at about 8am, the suspect lodged a police report claiming that the vehicle had gone missing in Sungai Besi,” he said in a statement yesterday.

Mohd Shokri said investigations found that the reported loss was believed to have been staged by the main suspect and his 45-year-old brother to facilitate an insurance claim.

The vehicle was believed to have been taken to a workshop in Kaki Bukit, Padang Besar to be dismantled, with valuable components collected for sale, he said.

He said two other men, both aged 32, were also believed to have assisted in the plan.

“All four suspects are currently detained to assist in the investigation and have been taken to the Cheras District Police Headquarters in Selangor for remand proceedings,” he said.

Mohd Shokri said the case was being investigated under Section 379A of the Penal Code for the theft of a motor vehicle or any of its component parts, which carries a jail term of between one and seven years and a fine upon conviction.

He said police viewed seriously any attempt to misuse police reports for personal gain or profit, as such actions compromised investigations and wasted enforcement resources. — Bernama

包括一名公务员在内的四名男子因涉嫌策划一辆丰田Vellfire汽车的失踪，以骗取保险金，从而逃避经济困难，而被逮捕。

主要嫌疑人是一名 42 岁的公务员，据称他在吉隆坡伪造了车辆失踪的场景，警方后来发现该车辆已被拆解出售零件。

嫌疑人年龄介于 32 岁至 45 岁之间，在巴东勿刹和亚娄被捕，目前正因涉嫌盗窃机动车接受调查。

当局强调，滥用警方报告谋取私利是极其严重的，因为它会危及调查并浪费资源。

坎加，9月19日——四名男子，其中包括一名公务员，因涉嫌伪造一辆丰田Vellfire汽车的失踪事件而被捕，目的是在他们其中一人面临财务问题后，帮助其获得保险索赔。

巴东勿刹警区主任莫哈末·绍克里·阿卜杜拉助理警监表示，嫌疑人年龄介于 32 岁至 45 岁之间，于周四下午 5 点 15 分左右在巴东勿刹和亚娄地区的三个地点被突袭逮捕。

他说，主要嫌疑人是一名42岁的玻璃市公务员，他于7月16日驾驶妻子的黑色丰田Vellfire前往吉隆坡参加一个课程。

“7月17日上午8点左右，嫌疑人向警方报案称，该车辆在双溪比西失踪，”他昨天在一份声明中说。

莫哈末·舒克里表示，调查发现，这起报告的损失据信是由主要嫌疑人及其45岁的兄弟伪造的，目的是为了骗取保险金。

据信，这辆车已被运往巴东勿刹加基武吉的一家修理厂进行拆解，并将有价值的零部件收集起来出售。

他说，另有两名男子，均为 32 岁，据信也参与了该计划。

他说：“目前所有四名嫌疑人均已被拘留以协助调查，并已被带到雪兰莪州蕉赖警区总部接受还押程序。”

莫哈末·绍克里表示，此案正在根据《刑法》第379A条进行调查，该条文规定盗窃机动车辆或其任何零部件，一旦罪名成立，将被判处一至七年监禁并处罚金。

他表示，警方严肃对待任何企图滥用警务报告以谋取私利的行为，因为此类行为会妨碍调查并浪费执法资源。——马新社
