KUALA TERENGGANU - Police arrested two entertainment centre workers for allegedly robbing a 24-hour convenience store in Chukai town here early yesterday.

Kemaman district police chief Superintendent Hanyan Ramlan said the suspects, aged 24 and 39, were nabbed at around 4am in a house and a workshop in Kemaman respectively.

Both men, who have previous drug and criminal records, tested positive for Methamphetamine.

Hanyan said the suspects had gone to the convenience store at 1.45am on a motorcycle before threatening a store worker and two of his friends with a weapon resembling a firearm and also a parang.

"They escaped with RM2,000 from the cash register, the store employee's sling bag which contained RM4,000, three handphones, personal documents and bank cards.

"They also disabled the closed-circuit television camera (CCTV). However, through public information, police managed to arrest the suspects within two hours of the incident,” he told a media conference here today.

Their arrests also solved two other similar cases in town, he added. - BERNAMA
