Two were arrested yesterday at 12:30pm, one a 19-year-old burger seller at Kampung Medan and the other a 20-year-old despatch worker at Kampung Lindungan. The latter's motorcycle was seized on suspicion that it may have been stolen.

Two more suspects were detained in USJ at 4:30pm. Both are in their 20s and one of them had a parang with him.

The remaining four are on the run after robbing a restaurant in Putra Heights at 5:40am. They escaped with boxes of cigarettes worth RM2,000, a mobile phone and RM500 cash.
