Dozens of foreigners arrested for alleged online scams in Pakistan
KARACHI (Pakistan): (Bernama-Anadolu) Pakistan's anti-cybercrime authorities on Wednesday (July 9) said they have busted an international network allegedly involved in online scams, arresting around 150 suspected members, including 71 foreigners, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported. The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) raided a building in north-eastern Faisalabad, the country's third-largest city and textile hub, "on a tip-off" to arrest the suspects, which included 18 women, the agency said. The detainees included 71 men and women from the Philippines, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Zimbabwe. Later, a court in Faisalabad remanded all the accused in NCCIA's custody for five days. According to the NCCIA, the suspects were engaged in running a Ponzi scheme to deceive the public and amass huge sums of money through fake investment opportunities and digital scams. A total of seven cases related to financial fraud and deception have been lodged against the accused, who targeted unsuspecting individuals-mostly overseas Pakistanis-by luring them into fake online investment schemes through social media messages. - Bernama-Anadolu

Police tracking 'basikal lajak' riders after reckless stunt on Terengganu drawbridge
KUALA TERENGGANU: Police are tracking down a group of teenagers, believed to be minors, who were seen riding basikal lajak (illegally modified bicycles) recklessly across the Terengganu drawbridge in a recent viral incident. Terengganu police chief Datuk Mohd Khairi Khairuddin said investigations were launched following a complaint over a 40-second video showing the group performing dangerous stunts in broad daylight. In the footage, several teenagers were captured riding in plank position on bicycles descending at high speed, with blatant disregard for safety and surrounding traffic. He said police were trying to identify the teenagers who may have committed two offences - illegally modifying bicycles and reckless riding. "Cyclists can be prosecuted under Regulation 42(1)(a) of the Road Traffic Rules 1959 for riding a bicycle that has been modified to the point of being dangerous. "Therefore, we remind parents to supervise their children and not allow them to modify bicycles excessively because such acts are against the law. Parents can also be prosecuted if found negligent in supervising their children," he said when contacted today. Mohd Khairi said police would also increase patrols around the Kuala Terengganu city centre and in areas where teenagers hang out to prevent dangerous riding. In fact, the public is also urged to file complaints and channel information to the police if any reckless activities occur that could disrupt public order. - Bernama
