KUALA LUMPUR: Three employees of a goldsmith in Sungai Buloh were detained for alleged criminal breach of trust.
Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Comm Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf said the goldsmith's manager lodged a report on the matter on Feb 5.
"He claimed that 26 pieces of jewellery were fake.
"We detained three female workers aged between 28 and 38 and discovered 26 pawn notices worth RM225,550 involving 762.82g of gold.
"We believe the suspects switched the genuine jewellery with fake ones to mislead the manager since June last year," he told a press conference at CCID headquarters on Friday (Feb 21).
