SHAH ALAM: All it took was five minutes for three masked robbers to enter a bank in Setia Alam, blind the closed circuit television cameras, blow up two automated teller machines (ATM) and escape with RM349,000 this morning.

Shah Alam police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said they received a call at about 6.48am from the public that the machines had been blown up and the cash was gone.

Investigators at the scene, he said, found two badly damaged ATMs — one was blasted open while the other was not.



“The suspects fled with the money that was still in the cartridge.

“The surveillance recordings were blurry and unclear as it had been sprayed with black paint. We are on the hunt for the suspects.

“The Bomb Disposal Unit and Post Ballistic Investigation called to the scene believe that the ATMs were blasted using gas pressure,” said Iqbal in a statement.

The bank, he added, estimated the cost of the two ATMs to be valued at RM60,000.



Iqbal said a probe under Section 436 and 379 of the Penal Code for mischief by explosive substance and theft are underway.

Those with information can call investigating officer ASP Mohammad Khairi at 012-2666025.
