Robbers make off with gems worth over RM1mil -Saturday, December 10, 2016

KUALA LUMPUR (10/12/2016) : Robbers hit a jewellery shop in Plaza OUG while the shopping complex was crowded with customers during a long lunch break.

The heist, believed to involve over RM1mil worth of jewellery, saw customers running helter-skelter to hide as the gang of robbers stormed into the shop.

During the 12.50 incident yesterday, four men wearing masks and helmets barged into the shop, armed with a hammer, a parang and what was thought to be a gun.

“The robbers managed to steal 21 trays of jewellery. We are still estimating the total amount lost,” said Brickfields OCPD Asst Comm Shahrul Othman here.

The gang fled in a waiting car, thought to be a green Mercedes.

“The Forensics Department currently has nine swabs of blood from the scene as well as two glass shards with traces of blood.

“These will be sent for analysis,” said ACP Shahrul.

Five employees and an armed security guard were in the shop during the robbery.

It is learnt that the armed guard could not react in time before the gun-wielding robber aimed his weapon at the employees.

Sources said losses could reach over RM1mil, adding that the incident lasted only minutes.

“When I saw one of the robbers with a hammer, I quickly ran away. I was worried he had other weapons with him,” said a shopkeeper nearby, who only wished to be called Siti.

ACP Shahrul said the case was being investigated for armed robbery.

Man charged with murdering toddler -Wednesday, December 7, 2016

SUNGAI PETANI (07/12/2016): A jobless man appeared expressionless as he was charged with the murder of a toddler, whose body was found stuffed in a cooler box recently.

Mohd Affandi Fauzi Ramlee, 34, merely nodded when the charge was read out to him in Malay by a court interpreter.

Mohd Affandi, from Taman Sri Wang, Sungai Petani, was charged with murdering the toddler between 8am on Oct 27, and 2am on Nov 24, at the Paya Nahu flat here.

Wearing a light blue T-shirt and black knee length pants and flip-flops, Mohd Affandi shielded his face from the press by pulling his shirt over his head as he was led from the lockup to the magistrate’s court yesterday.

Mohd Affandi, who was arrested on Nov 24, was unrepresented in court. He has been in remand since then.

No bail was offered as the offence carries the mandatory death sentence upon conviction.

Magistrate Adibah Husna Zainal Abidin fixed mention for Jan 22, pending the chemist’s and forensic reports.

DPP Izza Munirah Mansor appeared for the prosecution.

The case was uncovered last month after the toddler’s 26-year-old mother ran to her neighbour for help while cradling her critically injured four-year-old daughter.

Following a report, police discovered the decomposed body of the boy in a cooler box when they visited the flat on Nov 24.

The boy’s body was found wrapped in a thin mattress, placed in the cooler box and covered in ice.

The girl, who was suspected to be abused, suffered from a broken collarbone and bruises.

Mohd Affandi and the children’s mother tested positive for drugs and were remanded to facilitate investigations.

When contacted, Kuala Muda OCPD Asst Comm Md Zukir Md Isa said the mother has been released on a court bond.

KUALA LUMPUR (06/12/2016): A man allegedly made a rather daring robbery attempt on Sunday when he broke into a shop premise selling Closed-circuit Televisions (CCTVs).

The 37-year-old allegedly broke into the shop at Taman Jinjang Baru at 4pm, when no one was on the premise.

But the premise owner, who was conducting business elsewhere, was alerted to the man’s presence when he checked the live feed of his office’s CCTVs on his smartphone.

Sentul police chief Assistant Commissioner R Munusamy said the owner then lodged a police report.

Based on the CCTV recording, which caught the image and actions of the man, police conducted a manhunt on the same day and arrested him at Jinjang Selatan.

Munusamy said police seized a Sig Sauer gun and a magazine containing 10 9mm bullets, as well as a machete and saw, from the alleged burglar’s container cabin.

A background check revealed that the man has a record of 18 criminal offences, including burglary and robbery, committed in the city this year. Police are investigating where the man obtained his gun.
