Axe-wielding robber to be charged in court tomorrow
GEORGE TOWN: One of two suspects involved in a robbery while armed with an axe at a watch repair shop on Jalan Anson will be charged at the magistrate’s court here tomorrow.
According to police chief Assistant Commissioner Abdul Rozak Muhammad, one of two suspects involved in an axe-wielding robbery at a watch repair shop in George Town will be charged in court the following day. The suspect will face charges under Section 394 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt during the robbery, as the shop owner was injured during the incident.
The two suspects, aged 42 and 43, were initially detained on September 22 and granted seven-day remand orders in connection with the robbery that took place the previous day. The suspects allegedly arrived at the shop in a white Volkswagen car, with one waiting in the vehicle while the other entered the shop armed with an axe. The owner, a 59-year-old man, attempted to intervene when the armed suspect demanded money from his wife, leading to a struggle and the suspect fleeing the scene in the accomplice's car. The two were later apprehended in Straits Quay on the same day.
