Ladies, do be careful when you’re driving! A woman who was driving at Batu 5, Jalan Gombak on Tuesday (June 3) around 9.37am was robbed by two men on a motorcycle while she was stuck in a traffic jam. She had stopped at the traffic light along the road when the robbers rode past on a motorcycle.
She had placed her handbag and her baby’s bag on the front passenger’s seat and was waiting for the traffic light to change, Sinchew reported. Dashcam footage of the incident circulated on social media as police are trying to identify the suspects. The men on the motorcycle had driven up from the back of the car and stopped briefly.
