KUALA LUMPUR: Police have arrested three men and a woman in connection with an armed robbery against four Armour Security guards that took place at a petrol station at Bukit Antarabangsa here on Wednesday.
Selangor Criminal Investigation Department chief SAC Fadzil Ahmat said police had called in four guards from Armour Security to help in investigations yesterday morning.
He also said four suspects – three males aged between 21 and 33 and a 29-year-old woman – were caught yesterday to facilitate investigations.
In the incident, the four suspects had robbed the security guards as they were about to fill an ATM at a petrol station with RM800,000 worth of cash.
As the guards were about to refill the ATM, the suspects approached them on two motorcycles. One of the men, who was armed with a pistol, fired a warning shot and disarmed the guard holding a shotgun.
They then forced the guards to hand over the two bags containing the RM800,000 cash
One of the guards was hit on the head with a shotgun which was later thrown at the side of the road.
The suspects, wearing gloves and helmets with tinted visors, fled on two blue Yamaha 125Z motorcycles.
Fadzil said all four suspects have been remanded for seven days until Sept 13.
The case is being investigated as voluntarily causing hurt in an armed robbery under Section 394 of the Penal Code and Section 3 of the Firearms (Increased Penalties) Act.
