Police are seeking the assistance of Interpol and other agencies to track down three China nationals who allegedly threatened to kill a company director in Bukit Gambir, Penang on Nov 5.

Northeast district police chief ACP Che Zaimani Che Awang said the cops had provided the particulars of the suspects, aged between 30 and 50, to Interpol and immigration authorities.

“The three men entered the country a week before the incident with the aim of recovering the money they invested with the company but ended up threatening to kill the son of the company owner,” he told reporters in George Town today.

He said records showed they were still in the country but police were not ruling out the possibility that they had left by illegal means.

He denied the three men had the expertise to make an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) because the two devices they left at the victim’s house were fakes resembling dynamite-type IED.
