Police today confirmed that the recent RM8.24 million cash-in-transit robbery outside a shopping centre in Cheras last month was committed by the notorious Deva Gang members.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Wira Muhammad Sabtu Osman said police have identified at least two of the gang members in the May 18 heist.
One of the gang members was recently released from the Simpang Renggam detention centre for a similar robbery in Shah Alam three years ago.
Another suspect, who also took part in the incident in Shah Alam, had eluded police and had been on the run since.
Muhammad Sabtu said police believe the gang members are hiding out in Thailand and border patrol have been alerted to be on the lookout for them.
In their latest heist in Cheras, police identified the two suspects from the closed-circuit television camera recordings taken from the Cheras Leisure Mall shopping centre.
The two suspect are also wanted for a series of robberies in the Klang Valley and Perak.
Meanwhile, police are seeking the help of two men to assist in the investigations. They are identified as:
* Victor Thomas @ Selladurai @ VT (I/C 730427-14-5159), whose last known address is Lot 674, Kampung Baru Tambahan, Semenyih, Selangor; and
* Ravindran Krishnan (I/C 830717-08-5957), whose last known address is N0.43, Ladang Bedrock, Bidor, Perak.
