Seven cops, including two inspectors, and a staff of Bank Negara, have been nabbed for robbing RM200,000 from a money changer.
The illegal act was captured on CCTV, the cops were arrested by city police on Monday and Tuesday.
On Sunday, the complainant was approached by the suspects and three others, who identified themselves as policemen and officers from Bank Negara.
They raided the money changing outlet, citing that the complainant had no license to operate his business.
They seized around RM4,000 in cash during the "raid". The suspects then offered to "settle the case" for RM200,000 which the complainant paid after obtaining it from his house. He paid the money to the suspects at a bus stop near Jalan Tun Perak.
City police chief Comm Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim confirmed the incident in a statement released on Tuesday night.
"We have arrested four more civilians, including a staff of Bank Negara, on Tuesday.
"We are viewing this case seriously and would not compromise with any police officer or civilian involved in criminal activities.
Those found guilty will face legal action equal to the offence committed," he said.
