Police Nab Suspects In Former Singapore TV Journalist Robbery And Extortion Case

JOHOR BAHARU, July 7 (Bernama) -- Johor police arrested three men on July 4 and seized a pump gun with live bullets, two pistols, a Royal Malaysian Police badge, two stolen cars, 14 mobile phones, numerous identification cards, ATM cards and personal belongings of robbery victims, announced state police chief DCP Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff at a press conference here Saturday.

He told reporters, the suspects, believed to be part of an armed gang robbery syndicate, may also have been involved in robbing and extorting former Singapore television journalist Rita Zahara Mohd Nazeer on July 1.

The men aged between 33 and 45 were picked up from three houses in Felda Ulu Tebrau about 5 am on July 4, he said.

Mokhtar said the suspects had previous criminal records for drugs, robbery, car thefts and burglaries and tested positive for drugs at the time of arrest.

"We are tracing another two men still at large," he added, saying photo fits of the duo would be released soon.
