Three robbery suspects stole almost RM1.7 million worth of jewellery from SkyAvenue in Genting Highlands with remarkable speed and without being detected by police, suggesting they may have undergone planning. Criminologist Dr Haezreena Begum Abdul Hamid notes that the robbers' swift escape may indicate prior knowledge of the location and familiarity with the security setup.
While not dismissing their boldness, Dr Haezreena warns against assuming the suspects were seasoned criminals, as they might have simply seized an opportunity. Investigators will have to reconstruct the suspects' movements before, during, and after the robbery to ascertain the level of pre-planning involved, considering factors such as timing, route selection, transportation, and knowledge of security measures.
