PUTRAJAYA, Aug 8 — A teenage girl who trespassed and impersonated a hospital staff at the Sultan Idris Shah Hospital in Serdang was arrested today.
Sepang police chief ACP Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof confirmed the arrest of the 14-year-old local at 9am today at the hospital lobby.
The police also confiscated surgery scrubs (shirt and pants) and a lanyard belonging to the hospital.
He said the Sepang police headquarters received a report from the hospital staff yesterday at 1pm regarding an unknown woman in the operation theatre claiming to be a medical officer to assist in surgery.
“Today, at about 8.30am, the hospital identified the presence of the same individual trying to register at the counter using a fake identity. The hospital immediately contacted police and an arrest has been made,” Kamarul said in a statement today.
The case is being investigated under Section 448 of the Penal Code and 170 of the Penal Code, which is trespassing and impersonating a public servant.
