Kelantan police have announced a significant breakthrough in investigations related to the theft of cables and equipment from the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project. Authorities believe they have dismantled a major syndicate responsible for multiple incidents. The arrests of two individuals identified as the masterminds occurred last month, marking a key development in the case. Police indicate this action is expected to halt further thefts impacting the ongoing rail construction. The stolen materials caused disruptions and financial losses to the ECRL project. Investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of the syndicate’s operations and recover the stolen property. This crackdown aims to secure the ECRL infrastructure and prevent future criminal activity.
