Five police officers were among seven arrested on suspicion of being involved in robbing a foreigner at KL Trillion Residence in Jalan Tun Razak last Saturday.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusli Mohd Isa said all the suspects were arrested on Sunday following a police report filed by the victim, a man who came with a female companion, also a foreign citizen, regarding the loss of jewellery and a sum of cash in their house with an estimated value of approximately RM260,000.
He said that besides the police officers, the other two suspects detained were former police personnel and a civilian who is believed to have impersonated as a police officer during the incident.
"At 11.50pm (on Sunday), police detained three men. As a result of the arrests, police arrested four more men suspected to be involved. All suspects are aged between 28 and 41 years," he said in a statement today.
Rusli said five of the suspects were remanded for four days from April 8 to 11, while the other two were remanded for four days from April 9 to 12.
The case is being investigated under Section 395/170 of the Penal Code.
