STAR, Tues Jul 11; Cops nab robber couple; By KULDEEP S. JESSY

KUALA LUMPUR: A couple fleeing from police after breaking into a bank executive’s home at Taman Seri Ukay, Hulu Klang, here was arrested following a high-speed car chase.

The drama unfolded when the executive’s mother heard someone cutting the grille at the back of the house.

She immediately contacted her son, who then called the Ampang police.

Ampang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Azri Ahmad said upon seeing a patrol car approaching the house, the couple got into their getaway car and fled the scene.

STOLEN GOODS: Policemen recording the items found in the couple's car believed to have been stolen from the house in Taman Seri Ukay, Hulu Klang Monday.
“At first, the woman, in her 30s, was driving. However, several minutes later the man, in his 20s, took over the wheel as the police car was catching up with them,” he said.

“One of the two policemen in the patrol car fired four shots to the left side of the couple’s car after the man drove it in a dangerous manner causing it to brush against the patrol car.

“One of the shots hit the woman’s right leg while another hit one of the tyres,” he said, adding that the driver of the getaway car had refused to heed warnings to stop.

ACP Azri said the man claiming to be a Colombian and the woman, reportedly a Malaysian, were finally arrested when the man stopped the car.

He said police managed to recover a laptop computer, a digital camera and several pieces of jewellery believed to have been taken from the executive’s house.

The owner of the house, who declined to be identified, said he had told his mother to lock herself in a room.

The assistant to a deputy president of a bank said he contacted the Ampang police before rushing home.

“Luckily the robbers did not know that my mother was in the house,” he said, adding that yesterday’s incident was the second time that robbers had broken into his home in as many years.
