> ATM fully ‘withdrawn’

KUALA LUMPUR – An ATM machine was ‘excavated’ from a petrol station in Jalan Klang Lama, here, on Sunday morning.

A man driving an excavator had pulled up at the station at 5.30am and a worker on duty thought he wanted to fill the machine up with fuel.

When the man suddenly drove the excavator into the glass door, he ran into a room inside the station to hide and only emerged after the theft was over.

Using the articulated arm and bucket of the excavator, the thief managed to tow away the ATM machine, said Brickfields OCPD Asst Comm Wan Abdul Bari.

ACP Wan said the CCTV camera in the station did not capture the event as it was aimed at the cash register.

Police are still trying to find out how much money was lost as the bank had yet to disclose the amount kept in the machine.

‘We are still looking for the excavator and ATM machine,’ ACP Wan added. — The Star/ANN.

> Boy, 13, dead after $4 bet

Kuala Lumpur – A RM10 (S$4) bet took the life of a 13-year-old student who was washed away by strong currents in a monsoon drain in Kepong, Kuala Lumpur, reported China Press.

The daily reported that a friend had earlier dared Zhou Ye Hou to check out the depth of a monsoon drain for a bet of RM10.

It was raining heavily when Zhou jumped into the 3m-deep water and he was washed away in the June 3 incident, reported the daily.

Worse, his three friends, all 13, who witnessed the incident, only related the matter three days later after being interrogated by Zhou’s parents.

One of them known only as Jason said they were afraid they would get into trouble for telling what happened.

Zhou’s body was found five days later at a mine, a few kilometres from the monsoon drain. — The Star/ANN.
