He said the first suspect, a man, was detained in Jalan Pekan Salak Selatan here at about 11pm on Monday, while police seized a motorcycle key along with the attire he was believed to have used in the robbery.

“On Oct 5, about 1.20pm, police detained one more male suspect in the Pandan Indah area, Selangor, and seized a Yamaha Legenda motorcycle and a mobile phone.

“Police subsequently detained three more men and two women at four separate locations – Salak South, Pudu, Ampang and Kajang – on the same day,” he said in a statement today.

Idzam added that they also seized a Yamaha LC 135 motorcycle, a Proton Iswara, two mobile phones, and RM3,000 in cash.

“Three suspects were found to have criminal records, including for robbery and drug offences, while one suspect tested positive for drugs in a urine test.

“All the suspects have now been detained in the Bukit Jalil police station and Salak Selatan Baru police station and were remanded under Section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code for up to seven days,” he said.
