IPOH: Police have arrested five individuals, including two private college students, who were involved in a mass robbery at a restaurant in Tanjung Malim last Thursday.
Perak police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Shukri Dahlan said the suspects, aged between 17 and 23, were arrested in Kuala Kubu Baru, near Serendah in Selangor several minutes later after they robbed 15 people at an eatery in Taman Universiti, Tanjung Malim at about 1.30pm.
"They were armed with three parangs and had robbed the patrons at the eatery of their personal belongings, mainly money and mobile phones.
"We were able to make the arrests swiftly as we managed to get early information from the victims," he said on Wednesday.
"We also found out that their getaway car was reportedly stolen in Seremban," he added.
DCP Mohd Shukri added they were investigating if the group was also involved in a spate of robberies in Cheras, Jinjang and Brickfields.
"We however, believed they were involved in several other robbery cases," he said, adding that all five suspects were from Selangor.
He added that all five were still being remanded.
