Malaysian police are searching for four men who threatened, abducted, and robbed two tourists from China. The incident took place in Pekan Gohtong Jaya, a town popular with tourists visiting Genting Highlands, on December 30 at about 6.30pm. It involved a 26-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman. Officers at the Genting Highlands police station were alerted to the incident by a member of the public at around 7.40pm.
'The incident happened while both victims were walking in Pekan Gohtong Jaya when they were approached by four unidentified male suspects,' said Bentong district police chief Zaiham Mohd Kahar. 'The suspects forced both victims into a luxury vehicle and a struggle ensued between them. The female victim managed to escape from the vehicle, while the male victim was taken by the suspects.' The man was later left by the roadside after the robbers pocketed his cash and made him transfer money to their accounts, Zaiham added. CCTV footage of the incident captured by a nearby business and circulated around various social media platforms shows the suspects driving what seems to be a black BMW. He added that the police have conducted an investigation and are actively pursuing the suspects. The district police chief has urged members of the public with relevant information to contact the Bentong District Police Headquarters at 09-222 2222 or go to their nearby police station
