RAWANG: The two detainees suspected of hacking into a fast-food restaurant’s digital menu screen in Kuala Langat are believed to be involved in a similar incident in the district, said Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan.
He said initial investigations found the modus operandi for the two incidents were the same and the case is being investigated under Section 504 of the Penal Code and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955.Both men, aged 26, were picked up in Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday, Hussein said after launching the 2023 Selangor contingent’s Amanita housing estate adoption programme at the Bandar Tasik Puteri activity centre in Rawang, Selangor, here.
Earlier, a fast-food restaurant manager lodged a police report that his digital menu was hacked to display a screen showing images of food with blood, bombs, bullets and the words “Proud Sponsors of Israeli Terrorism” written across it. Hussein said the suspects’ mobile phones were also seized. Both have been remanded for four days to facilitate investigations.
Earlier, during the launch, he said Selangor police intended to increase the frequency of patrols in residential areas as it was more efficient than adding new police stations.“Police stations are not frequented by the public daily, so it makes more sense to increase patrols and have a wider coverage in the context of crime prevention.”Under the programme, housewives act as the “eyes and ears” of the police force to reduce crime in their neighbourhood.
