Police detained a parang-wielding man as he entered the grounds of the Tawau police station. \u2014 Picture by Ahmad Zamzahuri<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

TAWAU, Dec 25 \u2014 A man who committed two robberies using a 68-centimetre long parang this morning was nabbed when he rode a hijacked motorcycle into the grounds of the Tawau police station here to escape from a crowd in hot pursuit.<\/p>\n

Tawau district police chief ACP Peter Umbuas said the suspect, aged 27, was detained by the police at 8.10am, 20 minutes after the parang-wielding man robbed a man of his Modenas GT motorcycle in Jalan Tawau Lama, here.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe victim asked for help from passersby to chase the suspect, but the suspect, who had hijacked his motorcycle, managed to evade them until he entered the grounds of the Tawau police station and was detained with his parang,\u201d he said in a statement here, today.<\/p>\n

He said the suspect had also robbed a man driving a Nissan Frontier on Jalan Tanjung Batu Darat here, using the parang earlier at 7am.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect then escaped with the victim\u2019s vehicle towards Jalan Tawau Lama, but the vehicle ran out of fuel at the Jalan Tawau Lama roundabout forcing the suspect to abandon the vehicle at the side of the road,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Peter said a remand order would be made against the suspect under Section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code at the Tawau Magistrate Court for further investigation.<\/p>\n

Initial investigation revealed that he used the same modus operandi for both robberies, by brandishing the parang to force the victims to stop and hijacking their vehicles to make his escape,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that the suspect had previously been detained four times since 2014 for drug abuse. \u2014 Bernama<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
