    SHAH ALAM: Police are on the hunt for three men who attacked and robbed a saloon employee in Jalan Setia Prima, Setia Alam here on Monday.
    Shah Alam district police chief ACP Shafien Mamat said the the incident took place at about 5.15pm and the robbers managed to escape the shop with RM8,000, four handphones and jewellery.
    "Police are looking at the closed circuit television (CCTV) and we will go after the suspects," he said.
    The probe was initiated following a CCTV recording of three parang wielding men at the premises that went viral on social media.
    In the 49 second video, a netizen named Eunice shared her experience of being robbed.
    Eunice said in her Facebook post that she and her mother were robbed while they were getting their hair done at a salon in Setia Alam.
    The incident happened at around 5pm, when one man walked into the salon, asking the owner whether he could get his hair dyed.
    However, the owner was suspicious and turned him away but he refused to leave. He instead proceeded to walk to the back of the salon, claiming he wanted to use the toilet.
    He then walked to the back and opened a door. When he realised that there were no customers, he signalled two other men to enter.
    One of the men, clad in grey, took out a machete and told the owner to hand over his money and phone.
    They even told the victim to disable the "Find My Phone" smartphone application on his phone so they couldn't be traced.
    They then walked to where Eunice and her mother were getting their hair done, and asked them for their money, jewellery and phones. However, while rushing to get away, the robbers left a bag behind.
    She added the robbers somehow managed escape though the premises' door can be only opened with a remote control.
    Eunice ended her post by asking mebers of the public to keep a lookout for her and her mother's stolen belongings.
    The case is being investigated under Section 395/397 of the Penal Code for gang robbery.
    Below is the video of the incident from Eunice's Facebook page:
