PETALING JAYA (BERNAMA) – Petaling Jaya District Police Chief ACP Mohamad Fakhrudin Abdul Hamid said an ex-prisoner was re-arrested after robbing four convenience stores in Malaysia using an air gun.
He said the 30-year-old suspect would enter the convenience stores on the pretext of purchasing items before whipping out an air gun to rob the outlets. He said the suspect was successfully arrested by a police team from the Petaling Jaya District Police Headquarters (IPD) on February 3 at 10am, and the cops also seized a Yamaha Y16ZR motorcycle in addition to several identity cards, driving licences and ATM cards belonging to other individuals.
“Also seized was a revolver-type pistol believed to have been purchased online by the suspect,” he said in a press conference at the Petaling Jaya IPD yesterday.
