BALIK PULAU, Police arrested five men in a cable theft case, involving a loss of RM100,000 at a construction site in Bayan Baru here on Monday.

Barat Daya district police chief Supt Kamarul Rizal Jenal said the five men aged 23 to 48 were arrested separately in Batu Ferringhi and Bandar Perai Jaya near here yesterday and on Wednesday.

‘Police received a report from a construction site worker who found four cable drums worth RM100,000 missing and believed to be stolen when he checked it on-site at 8.45 am on Monday.

‘Acting on the report, police launched an operation to close in on the five men and seized various tools believed to be used to commit the cable theft,’ he told Bernama today.
