Cops tracking machete-wielding duo who robbed woman in Mantin


NILAI: Police are looking for two men, seen on CCTV, who robbed a woman in a provision shop while armed with machetes.

District OCPD Supt Johari Yahya said the helmeted suspects entered the shop in a residential area of Mantin at about 5.10pm on Monday (Feb 9), where they first attacked the victim's aunt.

When they failed to get anything from her, they turned on the victim and robbed her of a gold chain worth about RM2,000 before fleeing on a motorcycle.

"We appeal to anyone with information on the case to contact the nearest police station to assist in the investigation," he said in a statement.

Both victims escaped serious injury.

The case is being investigated under Sections 395 and 397 of the Penal Code for armed robbery. Upon conviction, offenders face up to 20 years in jail and whipping.
