SUBANG Jaya police chief Wan Azlan Wan Mamat revealed that one of the two men arrested for robbing a woman in front of her house in Jalan Intan Batu 3, Shah Alam, last Saturday was a hardened criminal with 25 previous criminal records.

The incident, which occurred at 6:30 am, involved four men on two motorcycles accosting the woman, grabbing her necklace, and fleeing.

The victim’s son witnessed the incident and pursued the group on his motorcycle. With the assistance of the public, they successfully apprehended a 33-year-old suspect at the entrance of Jalan Utara near the Federal Highway.

“Investigations showed the man has 25 criminal records, five drug records and was four times on the wanted list for drugs. Police also found the stolen necklace worth RM3,000 on the suspect,” he said today.

Wan Azlan said further questioning later led to the arrest of a 30-year-old man who was also involved in yesterday’s crime.

“The first suspect who tested positive for syabu was charged today under section 395 of the Penal Code for gang robbery while the second suspect was remanded until January 23,” he said.

Police appealed to anyone with information on the incident and the two other suspects still at large, to contact the Subang Jaya control centre at 03-78627100. – Bernama, January 19, 2024.
