PETALING JAYA: In a space of 60 seconds, four armed men entered a gold shop in Plaza Sentral, smashed the glass counters, scooped up RM600,000 worth of jewellery and escaped on motorcycles on Friday.
Brickfields deputy OCPD Supt Aida Abdul Hamid said the four men, who were armed with a pistol and large hammers, burst into the shop at around 1.20pm on and fired one warning shot to frighten the staff and customers there who fled the shop.
There was no security guard, she said.
“As the people fled, one suspect fired the gun again to break the security glass while his accomplices smashed the shop with hammers.
“They carted away 10 trays of jewellery and are believed to have escaped on three motorcycles through the backdoor of the shopping mall,” she said.
Supt Aida said the crime happened so quickly that the mall’s security guard was unaware of the robbery.
She said police had obtained CCTV footage of the heist and were investigating the case under Section 3 of the Firearms (Increased Penalties) Act 1971.
