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.
