PETALING JAYA — Three employees of a share investment company were robbed at gunpoint of RM1.45 million at a parking lot in Phileo-Damansara on Thursday.

After withdrawing the money from Damansara Heights CIMB bank at 3pm, the two account officers, escorted by a company security guard, headed towards their car.

At the lift area on the B2 level of the parking lot, they were ambushed by two men wearing face scarfs and baseball caps.

The assailants attacked the security guard and pointed a gun at him. The two executives were shoved against the wall.

Their hands were then bounded with cable-tie and the robbers took three laptop bags containing the cash.

They also took RM1,500 and three mobile phones belonging to the victims before making their getaway.

Petaling Jaya district police chief ACP Azmi Abdul Kassim said they have recorded statements from the victims and obtained closed-circuit television (CCTV) images of the incident.

“The bags contained RM1.4 million in RM100 notes, and RM50,000 in RM50 notes,” he said.

Azmi said no witnesses have come forward but believed the suspects are Malay and in their early twenties.
