Miri district police claim a violent robbery occurred at a Tudan mini-market around 5:30am on August 21, leaving a female worker injured. The assailants entered the premises with the intent to assault her and steal cash, goods, and personal items. Miri District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Farhan Lee Abdullah revealed the victim sustained injuries to her hands and shoulders, receiving medical attention at Miri Hospital.

On the following day, authorities apprehended three Malaysian suspects aged 28-39 following leads and ongoing investigations.

Mohd Farhan explained that the incident is under investigation under Penal Code Sections 395 and 397, carrying potential penalties of up to 20 years' imprisonment and whipping for those convicted.

He emphasized the importance of public cooperation in the ongoing investigation and promised a firm response to the perpetrators.
