| Robbers leave empty-handed after failing to break into ATM Posted: 23 Sep 2012 03:29 AM PDT SABAK BERNAM: Three robbers were frustrated in their attempt to break into an automated teller machine (ATM) outside the main entrance of Politeknik Sultan Idris Shah, here Sunday. Sabak Bernam police chief Supt Noor Mushar Mohamad said the masked men fled the scene empty-handed after they failed to crack the ATM's cash compartment about 3am. "The gang failed to weld open the ATM and fled the scene with their tools," he told reporters here. Noor Mushar said the suspects wore dark clothing and had stormed into the polytechnic's security booth, which was about 10m from the ATM. They gagged and tied up a security guard to a chair and pushed him onto the floor, where he was found by his partner who came back from his rounds at 6am, he added. The closed-circuit television recording was being scrutinised to identify the suspects, he said. - Bernama |
| Fire at Taman Seputeh flats razes two units Posted: 23 Sep 2012 03:21 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR: Residents of a flat in Taman Seputeh here were forced to evacuate their units after a fire broke out on the third floor of the building Sunday. City Fire and Rescue department operations officer Zukeri Shafie said they received a distress call at around 3.21pm. "Five fire engines and 35 firemen from three fire stations nearby were dispatched to the scene. "When we arrived there at around 3.34pm, two units on the third floor were already engulfed in flames," he told reporters when met at the scene. He said firemen managed to control the fire in 15 minutes and that no one was injured in the incident. "We believe the foreigners who lived in both units were not home at the time of the fire," he said, adding that the cause of the fire and extent of damage have yet to be established. He said when the fire broke out, many residents on the lower floors evacuated, bringing their valuables, clothes and documents with them. One of the residents who evacuated her home was 52-year-old Maimunah Ahmad Aziz. She said she was watching television with her husband when she heard several minor explosions. "I looked out of the window and saw smoke billowing from the upper floor," she said, adding that she and her husband had gathered their valuables and documents, and rushed out of the building. |
