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 chief Ashari Abu Samah reported that four men, each armed with a parang and a suspected pump gun, stole approximately RM500,000 worth of jewellery from a goldsmith's shop in Taman Pandan Damai around 2pm today. The exact amount of the stolen jewellery is still under verification, according to an initial estimate.
The robbers, who wore face shields, fled the scene on two motorcycles, leaving without registration numbers. They were dressed in dark-colored raincoats and moved swiftly to avoid detection. Witness Maria, 39, observed one of the criminals with two weapons, including a long parang, standing outside the shop during the heist. The quiet atmosphere, due to Friday prayer time, only added to the speed and secrecy of the robbery.
