Robbers’ hunger pangs lead to arrest


PETALING JAYA: Five robbers thought they had the money in the bag, when they ganged up on a private contractor Sunday morning with sticks, parang and a samurai sword and drove off with the victim’s bag containing RM10,000.

However, the five were apprehended when they stopped at a 24-hour fast-food restaurant; not realising that their victim had tailed them and alerted the police of their whereabouts.
