A group of men bashed up a 34-year-old sales manager of an optical store in Berjaya Times Square after he confronted them about a pair of sunglasses that were missing from the store
According to The Star, the manager's wife who wanted to be identified only as Mrs. Lim, said the sales manager was on duty together with a female colleague when a group consisting of four to five men entered the store between 9.30pm and 9.45pm yesterday
“He was working with another female colleague. The rest of his colleagues were off-duty. The group entered the shop and left after walking around for a while. My husband and his colleague then noticed that a pair of sunglasses were missing from the display section,” said the housewife.
Mrs Lim said her husband’s colleague started screaming “pencuri (thief)!” as he chased after the group. “He approached them to ask about the missing sunglasses,” she explained.
