They will be investigated together with four accomplices including a woman, who were arrested at a luxury hotel here. Last night, police here obtained a further seven-day remand against them after the earlier remand order granted by a magistrate in Rantau Panjang expired. Selangor CID Chief SAC II Tajuddin Isa said: “The remand order on the three men, in their late 20s, starts today (yesterday). They had been in remand since Feb 4, when police arrested them at a roadblock in Rantau Panjang.” The remand order of the other four suspects ends on Feb 13. In last Saturday’s robbery, five armed men rushed into the jewellery store in Subang Parade and in a shootout that ensued, two security guards and a robber were killed while another security guard was seriously injured. The robbers escaped with jewellery worth more than RM890,000. However, they were detained and the loot recovered nine hours later.
