Armed robbers flee with RM390k worth of jewellery from Menglembu goldsmith
IPOH: Three masked men, armed with machetes and 'firearms', escaped with jewellery worth an estimated RM390,000 in a robbery at a goldsmith in a shopping centre in Falim, Menglembu, earlier today. Ipoh district police chief, Assistant Commissioner Abang Zainal Abidin Abang Ahmad, said the police received the first report of the armed robbery from the public at 1.25pm. "Preliminary investigations at the scene, conducted with the Forensic Unit of the Perak Police Contingent headquarters, revealed that three masked local men entered the premises and stole various pieces of jewellery, including necklaces and earrings," he said in a statement this evening. The suspects, armed with what appeared to be a pistol and a machete, fled the scene in a white Toyota Camry. No injuries were reported. Efforts are underway to track down the suspects. The case is being investigated under Sections 395 and 397 of the Penal Code for armed robbery. Meanwhile, a 26-year-old witness, who declined to be named, said the incident occurred around 1.15pm, during Friday prayers, when the shopping centre was relatively quiet. The woman, who works at a shoe shop opposite the gold outlet, said the supermarket's emergency alarm was triggered, but she initially thought it was a routine alarm test. According to her, the suspects had parked their car strategically between the shopping centre's glass doors - equipped with motion sensors - to keep them open throughout the heist. "I didn't notice them entering as I was busy attending to customers. Suddenly, the alarm went off and people started running. It felt far more intense than a routine inspection," she said. "I only saw two of them, with one holding a machete as they exited the gold shop and headed towards the car parked right in front of the glass door," she added.
