Robbery at Jalan SS20/8

"12:30am 23/06/13 we heard the shouts of "Tolong, police!".

Our neighbours were in the midst of being robbed of their handbags while returning to their house (Damansara Kim - Jalan SS20/8). 

The robbers came in a Honda Jazz. 

It was later told to us that the robbers had also wanted to take their car. Due to neighbours shouting at the robbers "Tolong. POLICE!" plus a few houses (including ours) turning on our house alarms - the robbers got back into the car and sped off. 

3 police cars arrived 5-10 minutes later to attend to the situation."
