3 robbers rob S$534,778 worth of jewellery from Genting goldsmith in 2 minutes
There was reportedly no security guard on duty that day.
In a swift and brazen robbery at a jewelry store in the Genting Highlands, Malaysia, three men managed to steal over RM1.7 million worth of precious gems within a two-minute window. The audacious crime took place at SkyAvenue Mall in the early hours of August 17, as reported by The Star and New Straits Times. According to initial Pahang police investigations, the masked criminals had traveled to the locale in a BMW before striking at 11:40am.
The robbers were armed with an axe and crowbars, which they used to pry open and smash display cases. They successfully stole five trays containing 81 pieces of jewelry weighing 2.5kg, all within the brief span of two minutes. Remarkably, no customers were present in the store at the time, but two employees, a man and a woman, were on duty, while a third employee was on her break. Crucially, it was discovered that no security guard was on duty during the robbery.
With no suspects in custody to date, a manhunt is currently underway to apprehend the perpetrators responsible for the daring heist.
