Getaway crash: Police officers inspecting the Proton Persona abandoned by the robbers as they fled from the authorities.

BANGI: The mere sight of a police car sent a gang of robbers fleeing, thwarting their plan to rob an employer of RM185,000.

The 62-year-old owner of a cleaning service company made a withdrawal at a bank in Section 15, Bandar Baru Bangi yesterday to pay her employees their salary.

Little did she know that the would-be robbers were following her from the bank, waiting for the right moment to relieve her of her cash.

Luckily, a police patrol unit making its rounds spotted the men tailing the victim in three cars.

“Before we were able to do anything, the suspects jumped into one car and fled, but were unable to take the money from their potential victim,” according to Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Othman Nanyan.

In their panic, they abandoned their other vehicles at the scene.

“We believe that there were at least five suspects,” he said.

“The two vehicles abandoned by the suspects were a gold Toyota Hilux that was reported lost in Kajang and a silver Proton Persona that was reported lost in Seremban.”

ACP Othman said police had launched a manhunt for the suspects, and that the woman later went to a police station at about 10.35am to lodge a report.

ACP Othman said the case was being investigated under Section 392 of the Penal Code for robbery.

PETALING JAYA: The police had to taser a mentally-challenged man in Kajang after he allegedly stabbed a neighbour in the chest following a quarrel.

During the 4.36am incident at Taman Cheras Jaya on Saturday, the neighbour was having a conversation with his brother when the man suddenly joined in.

Immediately, both the neighbour and the man started quarrelling.

That was when the man suddenly took out a knife and stabbed the neighbour, 31, in the chest.

Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Othman Nanyan said after the attack, the 34-year-old suspect fled while the neighbour’s brother quickly tended to his wounds.

The neighbour, who was rushed to the hospital, survived the attack and is currently in stable condition.

“Initial investigation showed that the man has a history of creating problems in the neighbourhood and he suffers from some mental health issues. There have been police reports lodged against him,” said ACP Othman.

After investigations, police then went to the suspect’s home at about 4pm and was met by family members.

He said after some discussions, the suspect’s family managed to persuade the man to turn himself in but he suddenly turned aggressive, forcing the police to taser him. 

He was later brought to Hospital Kuala Lumpur for treatment.

ACP Othman said according to his family, the suspect had not been treated for his mental health issues.

KAJANG: Police shot dead four robbers who attempted to attack the with parang after they were cornered in a jungle near Sungai Sekamat here. Another suspect, believed to have been wounded, managed to escape.

The four were members of a gang believed to be responsible for over 50 robberies and police, acting on a report of an attempted break-in, managed to track them down early yesterday.

Selangor police chief Comm Datuk Abdul Samah Mat said they were alerted by an engineer who had called the police after finding someone trying to break in through a window at the Taman Saujana Impian premises at around 3.15am.

He said a special task force from the Selangor Serious Crimes Unit (D9) was sent to the scene and managed to catch up with the suspects trekking through the jungle along Sungai Sekamat at around 6.15am, a few kilometres from the scene of the attempted break in.

“The policemen identified themselves and the suspects came at them with parang.

“Our men opened fire in self defence,” he said, adding that four of the suspects died at the scene while another escaped into the jungle.

He said the suspects were believed to be in their 20s and 30s and several weapons, including parang, were recovered from the scene.

“We believe the suspect at large will attempt to get medical aid.

“If anyone working in a clinic or hospital comes across a man with a suspected gunshot wound, call the police immediately,” he said.

Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Othman Nanyan said the suspects were believed to have been active in robberies here since 2015.

“They would target houses with easy access, tie up all the occupants and leave with all the cash, jewellery and electronic items.

“Based on this modus operandi, we believe the suspects are responsible for 37 robberies last year, 19 robberies this year and five attempted break-ins,” he said.

ACP Othman said the suspects were believed to be active in areas around Kajang including Bandar Sungai Long, Bandar Mahkota Cheras, Taman Saujana Impian, Taman Puncak Saujana, Taman Sekamat Jaya, Taman Hulu Langat and Country Heights.

He added that one of the dead was believed to be a foreigner as he had identification documents from a neighbouring country.

ACP Othman said the hunt for the suspect at large was in progress and involved 107 personnel from various units including the K-9 Unit and General Operations Force.

“We have set up a 2km perimeter around the scene of the shooting,” he said, urging those with information to contact the police hotline, 03-2052 9999, or visit the nearest police station.
