Three Rohingya people have been shot dead by the police at midnight on 23 December in Selayang Jaya.
It is said that the police were in the Selayang Jaya area when they discovered a Ford Fiesta being driven suspiciously.
After the police stopped the car and wanted to carry out an inspection, 2 of them shot their guns at the police. In retaliation, the police officers fired 7 shots, with a bullet hitting each of them. All of them succumbed to their injuries and died at the scene.
A search of the car after that found that they had 2 Revolver-type pistols and a machete; it is suspected that they are members of the Rantau Fiesta gang who are involved in more than 50 robberies and burglaries in six states.
In just the state of Selangor, it is estimated that they have committed about 27 robberies and burglaries, which amounts to a loss of about RM1.3 million.
The most recent case was in Batang Kali on December 8, where they took 3 Rolex and 2 Hublot watches, estimated to be around RM445,000.
According to BERNAMA, the gang mainly steals small valuables such as watches and jewellery, and these 3 particular criminals have been active since 2011.
PDRM is tracking down the remaining members of the gang and also those who bought the stolen goods.
