The suspects, wielding a pistol and a sledgehammer, entered the store at 3.17 pm. They smashed the display cases and escaped with stolen jewelleries.
According to Buletin TV3, the Kajang District Deputy Police Chief, Superintendent Mohd Nasir Drahman, reported that the suspects were armed with two pistols and a shotgun.
