'Policemen' nabbed for trying to rob Myanmar migrants

The police have arrested two men for allegedly impersonating as policemen and trying to rob two Myanmar nationals in Johor Baru yesterday.

Johor Baru Selatan police chief Sulaiman Salleh said they were arrested by five police motorcycle patrolmen at 8.15pm at a house in Jalan Sentosa, Larkin, as they were beating up the Myanmar nationals with a stick.

He said the two suspects had identified themselves as policemen to the Myanmar nationals by showing them certain red cards.

"They started beating their victims with a stick and ordered them to produce their passports," he said in a statement.

Sulaiman said the motorcycle patrolmen also seized a stick, a police authority card in the name of one of the suspects and a motorcycle. (Courtesy of Malaysiakini)
