KOTA KINABALU: A brazen kidnapping and robbing spree by seven Filipino gunmen ended with them facing off with the police elite Tiger Platoon which was sitting in decoy in waters off Pulau Gaya in Semporna.
The gunmen, who had already kidnapped two fishermen in three robberies, were suspected to have headed towards the fishing boat to rob and probably kidnap another victim when they realised that they were up against the General Operations Forces elite squad.
