Malaysia — RM28.4M Johor pawnshop break-in was staged to hide fraud, police say

A pawnshop in Kota Tinggi, Malaysia, reported a break-in on November 6.

Jewellery and cash worth RM28.4 million were reported missing.

Police say the former manager staged it to bury years of fake jewellery pledged under made-up names.

Seven suspects are under arrest, including her husband.

Police have not said whether any of the real gold or cash has been recovered.
