IPOH, Sept 9 (Bernama) -- Two wholesale traders were pistol-whipped during a robbery at the Menglembu wholesale market here Thursday night.
The victims, in their 40s, sought out-patient treatment at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital.
In the incident about 8pm, five traders were having dinner at the market when four men armed with two pistols and two meat cleavers held them up.
Acting city police chief Superintendent Ibrahim Abu Bakar said Thursday, when one of the robbers fired a warning shot, three of the traders fled in fear.
He said the robbers then pistol-whipped the two traders before taking away two bags, one containing RM3,000, and escaped in a car.
