Accepted Answer

RM487,350 in Cash Recovered from Suspects in Pasir Gudang Robbery

Police have recovered a total of RM487,350 in cash from eight individuals arrested in connection with a RM500,000 robbery in Pasir Gudang. The arrests followed an incident on February 24 where a foreign national was robbed of a significant sum of money shortly after withdrawing it from a bank.
Robbery Details and Initial Seizure

The robbery occurred in the car park of the Pusat Perdagangan Pasir Gudang. The victim, a 45-year-old Pakistani man, had withdrawn RM500,000 to pay his workers' salaries. As he and his wife were walking to their vehicle, two men approached them, with one pointing what was later identified as an imitation pistol. The assailants then fled with two bags containing the cash.
Arrests and Further Recoveries

Within 24 hours of the report, Johor police apprehended seven local men and one local woman, aged between 23 and 53, in separate locations in Seri Alam and Tampoi. The group comprised individuals from diverse backgrounds, including a businessman, a mechanic, a food trader, and a person with disabilities who was wheelchair-bound and allegedly provided inside information. During these arrests, police seized RM20,700 in RM10 notes, eight transparent plastic packages of RM50 notes, and an additional RM65,830 from a company account belonging to one of the suspects.
Total Amount Recovered

The cumulative cash seized from the suspects amounted to RM487,350. Authorities believe the remaining portion of the stolen RM500,000 was likely spent by the suspects on personal expenses, such as accommodation. The investigation also led to the recovery of a Toyota Hilux, a Perodua Myvi, two forged vehicle number plates, two bags, a hat, a black face mask, and white gloves, in addition to the imitation pistol used in the crime.
