KOTA KINABALU: A 27-year-old man who attempted to break open a bank's Automated Teller Machine (ATM) with a paper clip was caught red-handed by police following a tip-off at a bank along Jalan Perbandaran in Tawau. "The bank's alarm system did not go off and there was no security guard on duty at the time," Supt Azizulkifli said. He said the suspect had used a piece of wood to block off the entrance to the lobby for the ATM machines before trying to use a paper clip to try to open the covers of the machine. "He picked up the paper clip from the garbage bin.
