He said quick action by the crew member’s wife, who reported the incident to the maritime authorities when she saw her husband’s mobile phone being snatched by an individual during their video call, helped them arrest all four robbers. "Realising the presence of the patrol boat, the four suspects sunk it, possibly to dispose of evidence before clinging onto the platform’s pillars and jumping into the sea. However, they were arrested,” he told a media conference at the Tanjung Sedili Maritime Zone, here, today.He added that not only did the men attack and punch both victims, but they also gagged their mouths and tied their hands and legs before locking them up in a cabin.
Saiful Lizan said the four men, two of whom are brothers, managed to steal several metal cables, oil rig work equipment and two mobile phones belonging to the victims, with total losses still under investigation.
