Salesmen robbers in RM 1 mln heist

KLANG:

Three smartly dressed robbers who posed like salesmen escaped with 216 luxury watches and 14 pens worth RM1 million from a watchshop at a shopping centre in Bukit Tinggi here yesterday. Klang PoIice Chief ACP Mohamad Md Yusof said the 20 minute robbery occurred when three shop assistants were preparing to start business soon after the shop open at 10.l5am. He said one of the three robbers dressed like salesmen threatened a shop assistant with a knife and forced her to open the glass showcase containing the luxury watches and pens. The robber cleverly hid the knife behind a file. “When the glass showcase was opened, the other two robbers opened the files and acted like they were stocktaking but were actually putting the watches into a bag,” he added. The luxury watches robbed include popular makes like Rolex, Rado, Omega and Tag Heuer. They also escaped with Mont Blanc pens. The three robbers who were in their 20s escaped in a car parked outside with an accomplice at the wheel. -Bernama
