The third suspect in a series of armed robberies was killed in a shootout with the police in Bandar Puteri Jaya, Kedah. The 34-year-old man, a member of a robbery gang involved in armed heists across four states in Peninsular Malaysia, was fatally shot at 7.50pm on Saturday. Attempts to arrest him led to a shootout resulting in his death. A pistol and other items were recovered from the suspect, who had over 30 prior criminal records. Police believe he was part of a criminal group responsible for armed robberies, gangsterism, and drug trafficking since 2022, causing losses estimated at nearly US$1.4 million.
The case is under investigation, and it is linked to an earlier shootout in Jitra where two suspects were killed. The suspects in a four-wheel-drive vehicle opened fire on police officers, leading to a confrontation. One of the suspects, aged 41, had a history of 41 criminal-related offences.
