KUANTAN: Police nabbed two men believed to be loan sharks in front of a fast food outlet near Taman Tasik Abu Bakar in Pekan here last week.
State Commercial Crime Investigation Department chief Superintendent Mohd Wazir Mohd Yusof said the suspects aged 22 and 24 years old respectively, were nabbed by a team of policemen at about 11.45am on Feb 23 for behaving suspiciously.
“We have been monitoring their activities and checks in their car led to the discovery of banners, handphones, chains and padlocks. They have been operating since early this year and offer services at four districts in Pahang.
“The men led police to a house in Bukit Setongkol here where we seized some 15,000 banners, which is meant to be displayed to promote their activities,” he told reporters during a press conference today.
Wazir said investigations revealed the men usually target customers with fixed monthly income and offer weekly interest up to 30 per cent for each deal.
