GEORGE TOWN: Police today arrested a group of 10 men, including three policemen from Perak, for robbing RM100,000 from a moneychanger at an undisclosed location here last Tuesday. In the 9.45pm incident on July 14, four men in a Proton Preve, with police livery, stopped a car driven by a worker of a moneychanging outlet and told him to drive back to his outlet along Pitt Street at gunpoint.Police investigators believe the men were initially aiming to take RM20 million from the outlet, after hearing the money changer had that amount kept at his outlet.
Penang police chief Sahabudin Abd Manan said police managed to nab the suspects, two of them foreigners, at an undisclosed location.Three Proton Preve cars with police livery were also seized, together with two service revolvers. Some of the seizures took place in Kg Perlis in Balik Pulau, Sahabudin said.
The case is being investigated under Section 395 and 397 of the Penal Code for gang robbery and attempt to cause death or grievous hurt, which carries a 20 years’ jail term and fine upon conviction.Subscribe to our newsletter and get news delivered to your mailbox.
