However, when these machines are vandalized, it can cause significant inconvenience and frustration for users. Recently, news circulated about a man who went on a spree of damaging ATM screens, even taunting a camera before committing the act. Let’s investigate the truth behind this incident.
The news of a person vandalizing ATMs and waving at a camera before doing so quickly went viral. Many were left wondering if there was any truth to this outrageous act. It turns out that the incident did occur as reported by Malay-language portal Majoriti. According to Limbang OCPD Supt Parum Niot, a 42-year-old local man was arrested on July 10 in connection with the vandalism. With this arrest, the Limbang police believe they have solved four cases of vandalized ATMs.
