GEORGE TOWN: Six men, believed to be armed with weapons, were nabbed by police at a budget hotel in Datuk Keramat Road here.
At least 15 uniformed and plain clothes policemen surrounded the area near the hotel on at 9.30am on Saturday (Oct 21).
A curious crowd of about 100 people were kept away after police sealed the area.
The suspect were handcuffed and brought down around 11.45am with one policeman carrying a parang.
They were later whisked off into a police van.
Details are still sketchy on the operation and a statement is expected to be released later today.
