KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 17 — The police arrested three local men yesterday who are believed to be involved in the snatching of a gold chain worth RM30,000 in Subang Jaya on October 12.
Subang Jaya district police chief ACP Wan Azlan Wan Mamat said the victim, a local man, was ambushed by one of the suspects.
The three suspects, in their 30s, were arrested in three separate raids in Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya yesterday.
"The suspects work as a document forwarder, a gold buyer, and a gold shop assistant, respectively. Two suspects have criminal and narcotics records while the other suspect has no previous criminal record.
"Also seized during the arrests were several pieces of jewellery and receipts for the purchase of gold, as well as a Yamaha 135LC motorcycle," he said in a statement yesterday.
Azlan said one of the suspects will be remanded for three days starting yesterday while two other suspects will be remanded for only one day.
“Following the arrest, police believe they have solved at least eight snatch theft cases in Subang Jaya and investigations will be carried out to find out if there are other suspects involved in the district,” he said.
