9 alleged ‘Geng Suria’ members to be charged
Bukit Aman CID director M Kumar says the suspects, linked to armed robberies targeting business premises and foreigners' homes, were arrested in a sting in September.
Federal police have arrested nine individuals accused of belonging to a gang called Geng Suria. This criminal group, active since 2024, is suspected of being responsible for around 20 armed robberies. The suspects, aged between 28 and 52, were apprehended as part of a sting operation conducted between September 24 and 27.
Bukit Aman CID director M Kumar stated that the nine will be charged in the sessions court in Sungai Petani, Kedah, the following day with being part of an organized criminal group. During the operation, police seized 189 ecstasy pills, weighing 101.12 grams, and six mobile phones. According to Kumar, Geng Suria members would often use knives or machetes during their robberies and did not hesitate to cause serious injuries to their victims.
Several of the suspects had prior criminal records, including break-ins, vehicle theft, and gang robbery.
