Thieves Beaten with Baseball Bat While Stealing Fake Phones

PETALING JAYA: Three robbers must be cursing their luck after their robbery attempt at a cellphone shop in Puchong on Wednesday turned into a comedy of errors.

Not only were the three robbers assaulted and caught, but to their dismay, they found that the cellphones which they had taken from the shop were all dummies.

The drama began at 7pm when one of the men walked into the shop at Taman Kinrara 1 on the pretext of having his cellphone repaired. While the owner was looking at the cellphone, the robber pulled out a parang.

Seeing the parang, the owner bolted from the shop.

The robber immediately grabbed several cellphones from the display cabinet but as he was running out of the shop, the owner returned with a baseball bat.

He swung the bat at the robber, catching him on the head.

The robber’s accomplice came to his aid and the owner bolted again.

The two robbers then ran to a motorcycle where a third accomplice was waiting.

The three of them then tried to escape on the motorcycle but the victim reappeared with the bat.

One of the robbers slashed him with the parang.

In the melee, the rider lost control of his machine, which crashed. Passers-by immediately pounced on the suspects.

Subang Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Muhd Fuad Talib said they seized a knife, a parang and several dummy cellphones from the suspects.

on the right side, i doubt the dummy cell phones cost much money so maybe they won't have too much jail time
