GEORGE TOWN: Two armed men made off with RM500,000 cash in a daring robbery outside a bank in Lintang Mayang Pasir, Bayan Baru here on Wednesday.
The suspects had waited on a motorcycle for the two armoured vehicles to arrive outside the bank at about noon and struck when three security guards were carrying two bags of money into the bank.
The pillion rider had aimed a revolver at the guards who dropped the bags - containing RM500,000 and RM300,000 - they were carrying on the ground. The robbers quickly picked up one of the bags and rode off.
It is learnt that one of the robbers was shot in the leg after the bank's security guard saw the incident and fired four shots from a pump gun.
Penang CID Chief Senior Asst Comm Mazlan Kesah urged hospitals or clinics to report anyone seeking treatment for gunshot wounds to the police.

ReplyDeleteThanks.
RM500,000 for gunshot wounds. How is that worth it? Man these criminals have no creativity. Maybe they should learn a thing or two from 'The Italian Job' or 'Man on a Ledge'.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I really don't understand the point of robberies. After all that then what? Live your life in hiding, in fear of being found? Not sure if it's really worth it
ReplyDeleteEducation comes in vital when it comes to cases like these especially mentality. Of course sometimes people were force into the last straw of desperation.
ReplyDeleteBut you will never know the likes of being a robber. Unless you've robbed others before.
Maybe you do it out of desperation (drug addicts/too hungry to bother) or you do it out for fun (as in you're addicted to it)
Oh my. This is horrific.
ReplyDeleteOh my. This is horrific.
ReplyDeleteNowadays people are not afraid to do anything...
ReplyDeletePlease be careful and do not have the mindset that "it won't happen to me".
ReplyDeleteThat was really unexpected and no one saw it coming. They should have been more alert of the surrounding in the future. Do keep us updated on the situation
ReplyDeleteSo which bag did they took? The 500,000 or 300,000 one?
ReplyDeletePeople these days are getting more daring with carrying out such violent and deviant acts. Having more of these unfortunate events sadly encourages more of these people to pop out of nowhere and get away with these crimes.
