Johor police arrest 335 scam suspects in Forest City crackdown

Johor police in Malaysia conducted a major operation in Forest City, arresting 335 individuals suspected of involvement in online scams. The operation, which took place on July 15, targeted two separate syndicates engaged in fraudulent activities such as fake cryptocurrency investments and 'love scams' directed at international victims, particularly from China and Indonesia. Among the detainees were 309 Chinese nationals, 19 Indonesians, four Myanmar citizens, and three locals. Authorities seized numerous electronic devices and vehicles during the raids across 27 apartments and five bungalows. While 159 arrests are expected to face charges, some suspects lacked proper travel documentation.
