The police spokesman said the suspect arranged with others who are at large and extorted unsuspecting members of the public via the illegal checkpoints.
Similarly, the police also paraded two suspected fraudsters who specialise in defrauding people at the Automated Teller Machine at the bank areas.
According to the police, the fraudsters pretended to render assistance to the unsuspecting public, thus end up withdrawing their victim’s money.
