SHAH ALAM: Police are swabbing a bag reported left unclaimed containing RM500,000 in cash for any possible traces of drugs.
Selangor Police Chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the bag would also be disposed of according to procedures under the Minor Offences Act should it remain unclaimed.
"We find the bag fishy as well so we are investigating. We had swabbed it for fingerprints and drug substances.
"For the fingerprints, we can't detect whose it was because the bag also had fingerprints of the security officer who had found the bag.
"If it remains unclaimed and we are satisfied with that fact, we will proceed with the disposal according to procedures," he said at a press conference, here, today.
Hussein added that he is still waiting for the bag owner who had promised to claim the bag today.
However, as of press time, the owner has yet to do so.
On March 21, it was reported that the police are looking for the owner of a pink-and-white luggage bag filled with over half a million ringgit, which was left at a shopping mall's parking lot.'
Subsequently, a company director had claimed the bag had belonged to his company but has yet to claim it until today.
