Four robbers made off with RM 3.3 million in cash after hijacking a security van at a petrol station near Ijok, Batang Berjuntai in Malaysia on Tuesday (January 28).
Reports say the security van, which was carrying nine bags of cash, was stopped at a petrol station at around 9:50 a.m. Guards were replenishing an ATM machine at the station when their vehicle was cornered by a Nissan van and a motorcyclist. Four men reportedly alighted from the Nissan van, forced themselves into the security van and tied up the guards. The motorcyclist then drove security van away from the scene and to an oil palm plantation, according to Kuala Selangor OCPD Supt Mohd Taib Ahmad. There, the robbers transferred the cash into their own vehicle and set the security van on fire.
Two of the guards were scalded by the fire and have been sent for treatment, but the group was otherwise unharmed.
"We believe the suspects forced all four security guards to get off the vehicle before unloading the nine bags of money to their own van. The gang then set the van ablaze before escaping with the loot in their Nissan Van. They also took the guards' pump gun," Ahmad said.
