Police in Malaysia are on the hunt for a suspect who broke into a room at the Genting Highlands casino and stole RM3m (US$708,549) worth of chips.
The case bears similarities to another in 2023 when two people got through an emergency exit door and stole RM4.6m (US$1.1m) in chips. Some, but not all, of the people involved in that particular case were subsequently arrested.
Law enforcement has identified local man Victor Lee as a suspect in this latest theft, and they want assistance in tracking down the 44-year-old.
