PETALING JAYA, Dec 7 — Police arrested two men who posed as police officers to rob a fishmonger at the Petaling Jaya lay-by along the Damansara-Puchong Highway here, early this morning.

In the 3.30am incident, the 40-year-old victim was resting at the lay-by when the two suspects approached him and introduced themselves as police.

Subang Jaya Deputy police chief Supt Lee Swee Meng said the two suspects were aged 25 and 29.

He said the case was being investigated under Section 393 of the Penal Code and both would be remanded for three days. — Bernama
