JERTIH: A wireman was nabbed 45 minutes after robbing a 24-hour convenience store in Bandar Jertih here yesterday. Besut police chief Superintendent Azamuddin Ahmad @ Abu said the 21-year-old suspect was caught when he returned to the scene of the crime to retrieve his abandoned motorcycle at 5.45 am, when a store employee apprehended and handed him over to the police. 'In the incident, the suspect wearing a dark-tinted visor helmet and a mask entered the store and threatened a 30-year-old male employee with a knife.
