PETALING JAYA:
Seven people, including five policemen, have been arrested by the police after a foreigner was robbed of a wristwatch and RM260,000 in cash.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said the other two suspects comprised a former policeman and a member of the public. The seven suspects were aged between 28 and 41, he said.

The victim was not harmed.

“Acting on intelligence reports, a team of policemen successfully arrested three men at 11.50pm on April 7. This led to the arrest of four more men believed to be involved in the robbery.

“Five suspects are on remand until April 11 while two others have been remanded until April 12,” he said in a statement.

The case is being investigated under Sections 395 and 170 of the Penal Code for gang robbery and impersonating a public servant, respectively.

Rusdi said the case is still being investigated and vowed that no one would be protected in the probe, including his own officers.
