  "summary": "Three masked men stole jewellery worth approximately RM1.7 million from a goldsmith in Genting Highlands on Monday in a daring daylight heist, evading police roadblocks due to the vehicle having already passed the checkpoint. In Klang, a gang of four men attempted to rob a goldsmith shop but were thwarted when their failed attempts to break the glass were noticed. Meanwhile, police rescued 17 Jordanian children from being trafficked in Kuala Lumpur, arresting 15 adults and seizing various items and passports. Lastly, a 59-year-old e-hailing driver was arrested for burning a 62-year-old woman with petrol at a lottery outlet in Kepong, allegedly over lottery numbers.",
