let's hit the gym

RM1.2m find in gym locker
By LOURDES CHARLES

PETALING JAYA: How much money would you have on you when going to the gym or fitness centre for a workout?
Only sufficient for drinks or a meal after a hectic workout, right?
Wrong! Someone apparently had other plans when he or she went to a gym in Subang Jaya last Friday.
A supervisor at a well known fitness centre there found RM1.2mil in a bag in one of the lockers when closing for the day. The centre closes for business around midnight.
Scared and dumbfounded the supervisor contacted his manager who then called the police. Police were equally shocked to find such a huge amount of cash in the locker.
Initial investigations centred on the April 9 KL International Airport heist, where two moneychangers were robbed of RM3.5mil after being shot by six armed robbers.
However, police ruled out that possibility as the money in the bag was in Malaysian currency and British pounds. The KLIA heist was in Singapore dollars.
Selangor police have questioned several suspects in connection with the KLIA heist but have made no arrests.
However, for the gym find they have yet to ascertain where the RM1.2mil came from or who was assigned the locker that day.
Selangor CID chief Senior Asst Comm II Mazlan Mansor would only confirm that police were investigating, and declined to elaborate.
