RM25,000 reward offered for capture of two robbers following RM500,000 heist

BALIK PULAU: A security firm which lost RM500,000 to two robbers last month is now offering a reward of RM25,000 for their capture.

Balik Pulau OCPD Supt Lai Fah Hin said those with information about the suspects' whereabouts should contact the nearest police station.

On March 4, two armed men on a motorcycle made off with RM500,000 cash in a daring robbery outside a bank in Lintang Mayang Pasir, Bayan Baru.

The suspects struck three security guards from the Safeguards G4S Sdn Bhd firm as they were carrying two bags of money out of the bank.

The pillion rider had aimed a gun at the guards who dropped the bags containing RM500,000 and RM300,000, they were carrying on the ground.

The robbers quickly picked up one of the bags and rode off.

It is learnt that one of the robbers was shot in the leg after the bank's security guard saw the incident and fired four shots from a pump gun.
