KUALA LUMPUR: A suspected member of a fake foreign currency exchange syndicate was shot dead and four others arrested in a late-night run-in with police in Ampang. The syndicate, known as Gang Gagak Hitam (Black Crow Gang), was in the midst of robbing a victim when police came upon them, leading to a high-speed pursuit. One of the suspects ran into an empty construction site and tried to attack two officers who were chasing him. “He came at them with a machete and they had to open fire to defend themselves, killing him,” he said. He urged the public to refrain from being enticed to exchange currencies for a higher rate on the black market.
