KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 13 — The mastermind behind the AmBank robbery in Subang Jaya last month worked as a security guard at a company for more than a year, police disclosed yesterday.
Joemar began working as a guard upon his arrival to Malaysia one and a half years ago. He held a fake MyKad bearing the name Osman Salleh.
Police are talking to the Klang Valley-based company where he worked to find out more about the mysterious suspect.
“We believe he is also an Indonesian but are unsure as to exactly where he hails from,” said Selangor police chief Datuk Mohd Shukri Dahlan.
Police believe the man is still in the country and has the remaining RM430,000 stolen from the bank.
Police managed to retrieve RM21,800 of the RM450,000 robbed from the bank on Oct 23.
The main suspect, a 36-year-old security guard, who allegedly shot bank officer Norazita Abu Bakar, 37, in the head during the robbery, was arrested on Sunday and has been remanded for a week.
The arrest led to the discovery of the pump-gun used in the robbery-cum-murder, some 700 metres away from the crime scene.
“Joemar was believed to be waiting outside the bank and rode the getaway motorcycle.
Eleven others, including the alleged shooter’s relatives and friends, were arrested earlier.
Ten will be charged with possession of fake MyKads while one will be charged with dishonestly receiving the stolen money and disposing of evidence.
Anyone with information on Joemar can contact Rakan Cop at 03-2052 9999.
