| Police Steps Up Intelligence Work To Find Sharlinie - IGP |
|
LUMUT, Jan 24 (Bernama) -- Police are stepping up intelligence work, focusing on Selangor, to find missing five-year-old Sharlinie Mohd Nashar.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said the move was made after the house-to-house search conducted with the cooperation of other agencies failed to locate the girl.
"With better intelligence operation and reliable information from the public, God willing, we will be able to locate Sharlinie's whereabouts," he told reporters after visiting the RM53 million new Manjung police district headquarters here today.
He said police and Sharlinie's family had been swarmed with false information from pranksters and other irresponsible individuals.
"We received a lot of information but they are mostly pranks. The family has suffered enough with Sharlinie missing, but these irresponsible people are making them even more miserable," he lamented.
Musa who believes that Sharlinie is still in Selangor, said that efforts were being intensified to find the girl.
He said he had asked all district police and police station chiefs to take the necessary action when they received information on Sharlinie from the public.
"Our operation to find Sharlinie has been extended to the border checkpoints where checks on vehicles entering and leaving the country are being intensified."
Asked on the possibility of Sharlinie being taken out of the country via sea route, Musa said the police force would not be able to station its men at every location due to the country's long coastline.
Musa said it was not wrong for Sharlinie's family to ask for anyone's help to find her, referring to the 50 bomoh who recently performed a ritual to locate the girl but the police could not use the information from the bomoh.
Sharlinie went missing from a playground near her home in Taman Medan, Petaling Jaya on Jan 9.
