The couples were detained under Ops Bajet Raid 2 by the Kulim district office between 11.30pm on Thursday and 3am yesterday.

Kulim district office enforcemen­t officer Anwar Shariffudi­n Mad Saad said the raid was done to ensure all budget hotels are free from immoral activities.

> A female promoter of a housing company was arrested for allegedly offering to sell lowcost houses at nonexisten­t land lots around Bandar Pusat Jengka, Pahang, on Thursday, reported Sinar Harian.

The suspect was arrested after one of her victims made a police report.

State Commercial Crime Investigat­ion Department chief Supt Mohd Wazir Mohd Yusof said the victim,72, was approached by two individual­s who offered a house at a low price and had agreed to it.

Supt Wazir said the suspect then asked the victim to pay RM100 deposit and promised to give the relevant documents in few days.

However on July 25, the woman demanded an extra RM300 to proceed further with the purchase.

The victim sought further informatio­n after making the payment but became suspicious with the suspect’s evasive behaviour.

“Fearful of being cheated, the victim made a police report,” he said.
