PETALING JAYA:

Police are investigating an attempted robbery at a goldsmith shop in Jalan Tengku Kelana, Klang, this morning.

Klang Selatan deputy police chief Kamalariffin Aman Shah said the incident took place at about 10.30am.

He said the case is being investigated under Section 394 of the Penal Code for causing injury during an attempted gang robbery and Section 4 of the Firearms (Increased Penalties) Act 1971 for displaying a firearm while attempting to commit robbery.

“Police are appealing to anyone with information about the case to come forward and assist with investigations,” he said in a statement.

CCTV footage circulating online showed two men trying to smash the shop’s display glass with sledgehammers, while another appeared to be holding an object resembling a pistol.

The three men fled after apparently failing to break the glass and joined a fourth man waiting outside on a motorcycle. All four then fled the scene. - FMT
