Robbery, drug trafficking suspects shot dead in Nilai

(Bernama pic) NILAI : Police shot dead two men believed to have been actively involved in robbery and drug trafficking in the parking lot of a condominium building here at 10pm yesterday. Bukit Aman criminal investigation department deputy director (intelligence/operations) Fadil Marsus said the suspects, in their 40s and 20s, had been involved in house, factory, and courier hub robbery cases across several states, including Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, and Perak. 'The 40-year-old suspect had 76 criminal convictions related to narcotics and violence, while the other suspect had 11 similar convictions,' he told reporters at the condominium's parking area just after midnight. Negeri Sembilan police chief Ahmad Dzaffir Mohd Yussof was also present. Fadil said the suspects had attempted to flee in a silver-coloured car but were intercepted by the police, resulting in a shootout where the police vehicle was struck by the suspects' gunfire. He said no officers were injured. Authorities believe the suspects might have been linked to violent crimes in other states as well. Police found two firearms: a semi-automatic pistol and a revolver. Fadil said the suspects' criminal group was involved in a robbery at a courier centre in Klang about two months ago, and that based on records, it was also linked to secret society activities. He said police had hunted down the remaining members of the group through a series of raids at several residential units around Selangor. 'The raids involved arrests and drug seizures, with further details to be provided later,' he said. Fadil said the suspects were believed to have been on the move, renting units at the condominium here as temporary hideouts. 'There are many other locations… the suspects were believed to have rented a Toyota vehicle, the registration plate of which was only used today. We believe the car's registration plate was replaced every two days,' he said.
