By CHRISTINA TAN
KLANG: Police shot dead five suspected robbers in a shootout after a high speed car chase in Taman Klang Utama at 12.30am Sunday.
The five, believed to be dangerous and high on the wanted list, were involved in at least 10 robberies in Selangor and the Klang Valley for the past one year.
Selangor CID chief Senior Asst Comm II Datuk Hasnan Hassan said a team from the Klang district serious crime division spotted the five men in a Perodua Kelisa in Lorong Sungai Keramat around 12 midnight.
Realising that they were being followed, the robbers tried to forced the police car off the road while firing a few shots at them.
The police then returned fire while giving chase.
The suspects’ car seemed to have gone out of control and crashed into a monsoon drain, said SAC Hasnan.
It is believed that the five were killed in the car during the shootout.
