SARIKEI, Nov 2 — Angered after failing to withdraw cash from an automated teller machine (ATM), a man vandalised five banking machines using a machete before allegedly injuring a young man who tried to stop him in an incident on Jalan Masjid Lama, near here, early yesterday morning.
Sarikei district police chief Supt Aswandy Anis said the 38-year-old suspect is believed to have damaged two ATM machines, two cash deposit machines (CDM), and one cheque deposit machine at a bank around 12.05am.
He said the initial investigation found that the suspect acted this way due to dissatisfaction after failing to withdraw money from the ATM, and also admitted to being intoxicated at the time of the incident.
