BUKIT MERTAJAM, Sept 21 — An elderly security guard has died of head injuries after he was beaten up by four robbers at a fish factory in Tanjung Berembang, Nibong Tebal, early yesterday, police said today.
Penang police deputy chief Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said the guard, identified as Abu Bakar, died at about 6.30am. He said a fellow guard, a 30-year-old Myanmar national, was also beaten up by the robbers who fled with a lorry-load of birds’ nests valued at RM100,000.
“Police found the lorry about two kilometres from the factory,” he told reporters at the Seberang Perai Tengah police headquarters, here.
Tun Hisan said police arrested a 26-year-old suspect at a house in Taman Permai, Parit Buntar, Perak at about 11am.
They also found a fake pistol and a mask, apparently used by the suspect in robberies, he added.
Tun Hisan also said police were looking for one Lim Choon Beng, 26, of Mukim Dua Samagagah, Permatang Pauh, to help in the investigation into several robberies and snatch thefts in Seberang Perai.
Anyone with information can contact the Seberang Perai Tengah police headquarters at 04-538 2222 or any police station. — Bernama
