[VIDEO] 46-Year-Old Security Guard In Kepong Robbed At Knifepoint In Under 2 Minutes

During the 3.25am incident, the 46-year-old victim was guarding a low-cost apartment in Taman Wahyu alone when four men arrived on motorcycles and robbed him at knifepoint.

New Straits Times (NST) reported Sentul police chief ACP R. Munusamy as saying that four men came on two motorcycles and frisked the guard while holding a parang. 

"Only two got off the motorcycle holding a parang to ransack the security post and robbed the victim of all his valuables," he was quoted as saying.

A closed circuit television (CCTV) footage showing the incident has gone viral on social media.

Utusan Malaysia reported that another phone belonging to the victim's friend was also stolen by the robbers.

"The victim was terrified and attempted to hand over his belongings. However, the suspects were violent.

'Two of them frisked the guard while holding machetes, emptying his pockets, and even forcing the victim's shoes off his feet while another grabbed some items from the guard post before escaping with their motorbikes," R. Munusamy said, as reported by theSun.

It was learned that the police made the arrest about nine hours after the victim, who escaped unharmed, lodged a police report over the incident.

R. Munusamy reportedly said that the CCTV footage led to the arrest of a 32-year-old suspect, who was picked up at a flat in Taman Wahyu 1.

"During the arrest, police seized a helmet, a pair of clothing, a set of keys believed to be the Yamaha motorcycle’s key, a Nokia handphone and a SIM card," he was quoted as saying by NST.

The suspect has been remanded to assist with investigations into the case while the police are in the midst of tracking down the three other accomplices who are still at large.
