A 19-year-old teenager was robbed RM27,000 after she had withdrawn the amount from a bank in Kulai. She went to the bank at 12:30pm and went off in her car to pick up a friend.

Three men armed with parangs came up and robbed her while she was waiting for her friend. The men then escaped in a car.

Police have identified one of the robbers after examining the bank’s closed-circuit television system.
