Not cutting-edge: Men armed with scissors in Tuaran gang robbery to be sentenced on Nov 20

Three men, aged 29, 26, and 35, who pleaded guilty to gang robbery armed with scissors in Tuaran have their sentencing scheduled for November 20, according to the Borneo Post. Sessions Court Judge Monica Linsua adjourned the proceedings at the request of the prosecution, which needed time to prepare the case and relevant documents.

The men, aged 29, 26, and 35, admitted to robbing two others of their cash and two mobile phones on Jalan Berungis in Tuaran at 12.50am on October 26. They were allegedly assisted by two other accomplices, who remain at large. The offense carries a potential jail term of up to 20 years and caning upon conviction. Each of the three men was released on RM5,000 bail with one local surety.

The judge also ordered them to report to the nearest police station once a month until the case is closed. Deputy public prosecutor Fazriel Fardiansyah Abdul Kadir represented the prosecution, while the men were not represented by legal counsel.
