KUALA LUMPUR:
Four gunmen made a strange demand from a family when they barged into their house in Sri Petaling here on Sunday - pay them RM50.
Cases:
The incident happened at 10.30pm when there were three people in the house.
Brickfields deputy police chief Superintendent Azri Abd Rahman said one of the family members gave the robbers RM100.
"After taking the RM100, they left in a car."
In another incident in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, two robbers held up a cashier at a fast-food outlet.
In the 10.50pm incident, a gunman and another with a parang approached the cashier and demanded all the cash in the till. They took RM900.
Five customers dining at the time were also robbed of their cash and jewellery.
They sped off on a motorcycle.
Police believe the same robbers may have shot a salesman in the neck during a hold-up at a handphone shop near the Warta Mall in Selayang earlier in the night.
A man armed with a parang had walked into the shop at 9pm and smashed one of the display showcases.
A struggle ensued when the employee tried to stop the suspect from removing the phones.
An accomplice, waiting on a motorcycle, rushed into the shop and fired several shots when he noticed the commotion.
A bullet grazed the neck of the 22-year-old employee.
The man, who was also slashed on the shoulder and chest, was taken to the Selayang Hospital where he is reported to be in a stable condition.
The robbers fled with handphones worth RM5,000.
