Durian stall worker robbed in Bentong


KUANTAN: A roadside durian stall assistant in Bentong was robbed of RM850 by a man who appeared to be carrying what looked like a gun, say police.

Bentong district police chief Supt Zaiham Mohd Kahar said the 38-year-old female foreign worker was approached by the man who drove up to the stall near the Benus industrial site in a car at 3.20pm on Wednesday (Aug 2).

He pulled out what looked like a pistol and demanded that the stall assistant hand over all the cash from the sale of the fruits, he said, adding that the robber drove off after taking the money.

The stall assistant was unhurt in the incident, he said in a statement.

Supt Zaiham appealed to anyone who had information on the robbery to contact the Bentong district police headquarters at 09-2222 2222 or any police station. - Bernama
