Terror of masked men and machetes


SHAH ALAM: A family experienced a harrowing night when a group of armed robbers broke into their home in Pandamaran, Klang, near here.

South Klang OCPD Asst Comm Cha Hoong Fong said that during the 5am incident in Jalan Jagong yesterday, the 12 masked suspects arrived in front of the three-storey bungalow in two cars before climbing the wall and breaking the grate of the main door.

The suspects, believed to be locals, then tied up the three occupants before ransacking the house and fleeing with cash, deity idols and jewellery at an estimated loss of RM600,000.

“During the robbery, one of the occupants managed to call the police at around 6.16am. A patrol car that arrived at the scene confirmed that the robbery was staged with machetes.

“All the suspects made their getaway in two cars parked in front of the house,” he said yesterday, Bernama reported.

ACP Cha said one resident of the house, a 37-year-old man, was slashed on the left shoulder.

He said police are intensifying efforts to track down the suspects and appealed for those with information to contact the nearest police station or call 03-3376 2222.

ACP Cha said the case is being investigated under Sections 395 and 397 of the Penal Code.
