KOTA BARU: Eight Myanmar nationals lost some money and mobile phones after being robbed by four men posing as policemen in Kampung Kubang Tin near Melor last night.

Deputy district police chief Superintendent Wan Ruzailan Wan Mat Rusoff said following the incident, police have arrested the four suspects.

He said one of the victims lodged a police report about the gang robbery at 12.53am today.



“In the report, the victim claimed that the incident happened about 10.30pm last night when he and his seven friends, all Myanmar nationals, were returning to their home.

“They were approached by four men posing as policemen. The suspects demanded that they hand over their wallets, their mobile phones and UNHCR cards before they fled from the scene,” he said.

Wan Ruzailan said the victims, in their 20s, work as labourers in the town area and have been living in Malaysia for almost 13 years.

“Following the report, police arrested the four suspects along the roadside in Kampung Kubang Tin.



“The four comprised a government servant and three car wash workers,” he added.

He said the suspects, aged between 29 and 43, have been remanded for seven days to facilitate investigations into the case.

Wan Ruzailan added that police seized three motorcycles and some cash from the suspects.
