Reacting quickly, security personnel placed the cash bag back inside the armoured vehicle and locked its doors, denying the suspect entry to the funds.

This rapid response prevented the suspect from stealing the money.

Suspect Flees with Shotgun

Despite the robbery's failure, the suspect managed to grab a pump-action shotgun from one of the guards before fleeing the area.

The suspect escaped on a motorcycle shortly after the incident.

Ongoing Police Investigation

The Selangor police are actively pursuing the suspect linked to the robbery attempt.

Authorities continue their investigations to identify and apprehend the individual involved.
