Police: Bag-snatching video was merely an act

KOTA KINABALU: A video of a man snatching a bag from a woman at a goldsmith here was not a real-life incident, say police.

Acting Kota Kinabalu City police chief Supt Kalsom Idris, in urging the public not to be alarmed, said the outlet’s manager explained that the video was uploaded on social media to heighten public awareness on security and safety.
