Mohd Sharif, 30, together with two others still at large, were charged with committing CBT, resulting in the loss of RM319,320 from an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) in Bangi, Selangor.

The offence was committed between 1.11pm and 1.53pm at the International Islamic University College in Bangi, Selangor on Sept 15.

According to the facts of the case, Mohd Sharif, who was entrusted to place the cash in the ATM machine on that day, had purposely left the door of the ATM machine unlocked to go to the toilet after placing the money there.

This gave his two alleged accomplices, known as 'Boleng' and 'Bai', to take the money from the machine.

Deputy public prosecutor Ainul Wardah Shahidan prosecuted, while Mohd Nizam was unrepresented. -- Bernama
