Sometimes, the most unexpected places can harbour the most surprising stories.
In a twist of events at a hospital's parking lot, a security guard allegedly turned from guardian to extortionist.
Was a security guard really detained for extorting money at a hospital's parking lot as claimed in a video that has gone viral on social media?
VERDICT:
TRUE
A 28-year-old female security guard has been detained for allegedly extorting RM50 from a woman over parking issues following a 55-second video of the incident going viral on TikTok.
Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Naazron Abdul Yusof said that the video went viral on Monday (May 19) and the 31-year-old female victim lodged a police report on the same day.
"However, we discovered the incident occurred at about 4pm on Dec 23 last year. It occurred at a hospital in Kajang,” he added.
The video gathered various reactions from social media users who said that the security guard was taking advantage of the hospital visitors by extorting money if the latter parked in prohibited areas.
“The suspect is also seen issuing threats during the incident," he said in a statement on Tuesday (May 20).
ACP Naazron added that the investigation led police to arrest the security guard on Monday.
"She has been remanded until Wednesday (May 21) to assist with the investigation. We urge those with information over the incident to contact investigating officer Insp Ghazali Zulkifli at 016-9140758," added ACP Naazron.
