Two armed men disguised as delivery riders carried out a robbery at a gold shop in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, before escaping on a motorcycle.
At approximately 8.30pm on Tuesday (20 Jan), two men riding a Yamaha Y15 motorcycle stopped in front of the supermarket before entering the jewellery store.
According to Nilai District Police Chief, Superintendent Johari Yahya, both suspects were spotted carrying pistols during the heist.
However, no shots were fired, and no injuries were reported, according to Malay Mail.
CCTV footage from the scene showed the two men wearing full-face helmets and black raincoats to conceal their identities.
One of the suspects was seen carrying a Lalamove delivery bag as he entered the shop, while the other initially remained on the motorcycle, positioning it for a quick escape.
Shortly after, the second suspect dismounted and followed his accomplice inside.
During the robbery, he was seen holding a pistol and gesturing at staff and nearby members of the public, allegedly warning them not to interfere.
