Parang-toting robbers get away with RM500,000 in jewellery
The four men, wearing face shields, were armed with parangs and a suspected pump gun.
Kuantan police confirmed robbers, dressed in dark raincoats, stole approximately RM500,000 worth of jewellery from a goldsmith's shop in Taman Pandan Damai. Four men, one of whom brandished a parang and a suspected pump gun, carried out the heist around 2pm today. The suspects, wearing face shields, fled the scene on two motorcycles without identification plates, disappearing as swiftly as they arrived.
Police spokesperson Ashari Abu Samah stated that the exact sum taken is still under verification. Witness Maria, a 39-year-old resident, witnessed one of the assailants brandishing the weapons outside the shop during Friday prayer time, adding to the shopkeeper's sense of urgency.
