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

Video footage captured shows three men taking approximately two minutes to escape after burglarizing a jewelry store at Sky Avenue, Genting Highlands, early this morning. The Acting Chief of Police for Pahang, Azry Akmar Ayob, stated that initial investigations found the three suspects boarding a vehicle to carry out the heist in Genting Highlands.

He said the suspects were believed to be wearing hats, face masks, bullets belts, and walking sticks while raiding the premises. All of them were subsequently reported to have descended Genting Highlands, immediately after the heist, according to Berita Harian. The Acting Chief of Police for Bukit Aman, JSJ, JSJ Command Pahang, and IPD Bentong's Investigation Department are now actively pursuing the suspects based on the investigations and risks conducted.

Meanwhile, media quoted a source clarifying that the police launched Op Close-Up from around 12 noon to late afternoon, the aftermath of the heist. However, based on Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) footage, the vehicle carrying the suspects is believed to have already left the testing center before Op Close-Up was implemented. In the incident around 11:40 AM, the three suspects are reported to have stolen various types of luggage and jewelry from the store.

Earlier, circulating videos and photos on social media showed a group of individuals believed to have burglarized a store in Genting Highlands' shopping center.
