Sex more valued than money
Wednesday May 21, 2008

MIRI: Sex before money – that seemed to be on the minds of a group of armed robbers who struck at a housing estate.
Clad only in their underwear and face-masks, the five men broke into a house, tied up its four occupants, then searched the house for the Indonesian maid instead of the loot.
When they found the maid not to their “taste”, they beat her up and then robbed the entire family.
Miri police are now looking for the group of foreigners who escaped with more than RM10,000 in cash and belongings.
The incident happened on Monday at the Morsjaya commercial centre outside the city centre.
The victims, who lodged a report at the Miri Central Police Station, said the robbers broke into the house in the wee hours of the morning.
They were not wearing shirts or trousers, only underwear. They headed straight for the rooms after tying up four of the family members who were in the house, said one of the victims in his report.
“They were searching for the Indonesian maid who lives in the house. They found the maid, but after looking at her, they beat her up with the handle of the parang they were carrying,” said a police source.
Meanwhile, late on Monday night, another armed robbery took place at a businessman's house in a posh residential estate in Luak Bay, outside the city centre.
A group of six men armed with parang broke into the house and escaped with more than RM50,000 in cash and jewellery after tying up the entire household.
Miri police chief Asst Comm Jamaluddin Ibrahim said that as of yesterday afternoon, the police have arrested six men.
“We do not know as yet whether these robberies were carried out by the same gang,” he said.
ACP Jamaluddin advised residents to beef up security in their homes if they intend to keep large amounts of cash and jewellery there.

Not even Ramasun’s tail could stop these robbers
Article from the Star by Stephen Then,
MIRI: While residents in northern Sarawak huddled every night in fear of yet another storm from Typhoon Ramasun's ''tail'', a gang of armed robbers struck in Miri City, targeting the family of a rich towkay who is involved in the shipping and fishing industry.
This gang of six masked men armed with shotguns held up the towkay's family of 11 in their house at a residential estate on Thursday night at about 9pm. The men wearing haze masks tied up the entire household before ransacking their house and robbing them of cash and jewellery worth some RM40,000 while the family were holed up in their house in fear of Typhoon Ramassun's ''tail''.
The robbers beat up the towkay, who is in his 60s, before looting the household.
However, the towkay was not seriously injured.
The armed men were said to have busted into the house from a back door while the family members were in the living room.
Miri Police Chief Asst Comm Jamaluddin Ibrahim on Friday said the police have reason to believe that the gang could be made up of foreigners.
''We are still investigating. We have obtained some details from the victims and descriptions of the robbers,'' he said.
Police on Friday launched a manhunt for these armed and dangerous men.
What a shameless and cruel act of the robbers! Want fast money jual burit la..
