PUTRAJAYA - A teenage girl who trespassed and impersonated a hospital staff at the Sultan Idris Shah Hospital in Serdang was arrested today.

Sepang police chief Assistant Commissioner Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof confirmed the arrest of the 14-year-old local at 9am today at the lobby of the hospital.

He said police also confiscated from her surgery scrubs (shirt and pants) and a lanyard belonging to the hospital.

Wan Kamarul Azran said the Sepang police headquarters (IPD) 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 8.30 am, 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,” he said in a statement here today.

Wan Kamarul Azran said the case was investigated under Section 448 of the Penal Code and 170 of the Penal Code, which is trespassing and impersonating a public servant. - BERNAMA
