2 minit 3 perompak larikan RM1.7 juta barang kemas di Genting Highland

Pahang Police Chief Azry Akmar Ayob reported that three men took around two minutes to escape with nearly RM1.7 million worth of merchandise from a gold shop on Sky Avenue in Genting Highlands early this morning. The suspects are believed to have taken a vehicle to the Genting Highlands after committing the crime. They were described as wearing hats and wearing face masks, as well as carrying balaclavas and scythes during the raid on the premises.

All three were subsequently reported to have descended from Genting Highlands, immediately following the raid, according to Berita Harian. The Special Operations Division (JSJ) in Kuala Lumpur, JSJ Pahang Division, and the IPD Bentong Crime Investigation Department are currently actively tracking the suspects based on the investigation and intelligence gathered.

Meanwhile, media outlets have quoted a source confirming that the police launched an "Op Shut Down" operation from around noon until the evening of the raid, but CCTV footage showed the vehicles carrying the suspects had already left the inspection center before the "Op Shut Down" was implemented. Around 11:40 am, the three suspects were reported to have stolen various types of luggage and gold from the store.

Earlier, circulating videos and photos on social media depicted a group of individuals believed to have robbed a shop in a shopping mall in Genting Highlands.
