Desperate times call for desperate measures.
On 29 September (Tuesday) a man in Perak had big plans to rob an ATM. However, as soon as he tried to put his plan it into action, he knew that he screwed up.
At about 3pm on Tuesday, the man went to an ATM in Batu Gajah, Perak and wanted to rob it. To do so, he pulled out a gun and pointed it towards the security guard. However, the security guard did not falter and instead, snatched it from his hands.
The twist in this story is that the gun was actually a toy gun and the security guard saw right through it. As he was snatching the toy away from the man, there was a little struggle before the ‘robber’ ran away.
Members of the public saw what was happening and quickly whipped up their phones to take a video.
