Floorplan Man’s day of reckoning has come, and the man responsible for this year’s most fantastical bank heist involving nothing more than a piece of paper, has found himself in custody, and feeling the full wrath of the law.
Unable to identify the smooth-talker who walked into an Damansara Heights bank under the guise of a fire extinguisher technician, and left with RM600,000 (US$215,000) police appealed to the public to identify him.
After three weeks on the run, they were able to arrest a man in Melaka on October 3. Seems like the bank weren’t the only ones who fell victim to this alleged smooth-talker’s smoke, mirrors, and fast-hands – over 30 individuals and businesses have come forward and told police that he stole from them too.
While investigations into the bank heist have almost finished, the unnamed man has been re-arrested by police after his remand expired, so that they can continue their investigations into his alleged activities.
He’ll be doing a mini-tour of the country, visiting various states in coming weeks while the string of past crimes over the last ten years are investigated.
The Sun reports that the man’s criminal record indicate that he had been arrested four times in his youth, but the cases were dropped due to lack of evidence.
Floorplan Man’s outlaw vibes live on: he’s refusing to tell police where the money is.
