Three suspected armed accomplices are being sought in the case thought to be related to several other robberies in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Negeri Sembilan.
SHAH ALAM: Police have detained four men linked to a robbery at a goldsmith shop in a mall in Damansara Jaya last Friday.
The suspects were picked up a day after the heist which saw three of six robbers gunned down in a shootout with the police.
Selangor police chief Mazlan Mansor said the first suspect was arrested during a raid at a house in Bukit Beruntung, Rawang, at 1.15am.
He said following interrogation the suspect led them to another house in Bukit Sentosa, Rawang, where another man – who was injured in the shootout with the police – was picked up at 3pm the same day.
“The remaining two members of the robbery gang were later detained when they surrendered at the Jerantut district police headquarters at about 5pm the same day,” Mazlan told a media conference at the Selangor police contingent headquarters here today.
Police also seized an assortment of pistols and recovered part of the jewellery worth about RM400,000 in connection with the arrests of the four suspects.
Mazlan said police were in the midst of tracking down three suspected accomplices of the group which was deemed dangerous as they were carrying firearms.
“With the arrests, we believe we have solved at least eight robbery cases in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Negeri Sembilan,” he added.
The suspects were remanded for seven days until May 26. The case is being investigated under Section 3 of the Firearms (Increased Penalties) Act 1971, and Section 395/397 and Section 307 of the Penal Code.
In the 5pm incident on Friday, six men wearing full-face helmets, three of whom were armed with pistols, stormed into the goldsmith shop and took away an undisclosed amount of jewellery.
In the subsequent shootout, police shot dead three of the robbers as they were fleeing the scene.
The police believe more than eight men were involved in the heist.
