KERIAN: Four robbers on motorcycles are probably thanking their lucky stars that they only suffered minor injuries after their unrelenting victim jumped into his car and rammed into them.
The victim, Mohamed Mazis Mohamed Mokhtar, 25, his wife and three friends were confronted by the four robbers near Taman Murni, Parit Buntar at about 10.15am yesterday.
One of the robbers, who was armed with a parang, threatened Mohamed Mazis’ wife with the weapon.
However, a scuffle broke out when the victims refused to hand over their belongings, and one of Mohamed Mazis’ friends was injured in the head.
The robbers then fled on their motorcycles with a bracelet, gold rings, two handbags and two wristwatches.
It was then that Mohamed Mazis swung into action.
He jumped into his car and gave chase, eventually ramming into the four.
He subsequently apprehended all of them with the help of several onlookers.
Kerian police chief Supt Omar Bakhtiar Yaacob said the robbers were not seriously injured.
“We are investigating. They could have been involved in more robbery cases,” he said.
