Sabah police cripple armed gang behind 17 luxury house break-ins involving RM304,500 in losses

KOTA KINABALU, Oct 30 — Sabah police have crippled an armed syndicate linked to 17 gang robbery and luxury house-breaking cases involving RM304,500 in losses across several districts since early this year, said Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Jauteh Dikun.

He said the breakthrough was achieved through two special operations, Op Casa and Op Pintu, following the formation of a special task force in September to investigate two armed robberies reported in the state capital in August.

Six men, aged between 30 and 43 with a combined 75 criminal and drug-related records, were detained, while police have launched a manhunt for several other suspects still at large.

“Police also seized various valuables, including luxury watches, designer handbags, electronic devices, cars, fishing equipment, and a safe box.

“The syndicate targeted unoccupied luxury residences and did not hesitate to use bladed weapons to intimidate victims if anyone was inside,” he said in a statement yesterday.

Jauteh said investigation papers have been completed and all suspects are scheduled to be charged at the Kota Kinabalu Magistrate’s Court today.

They will face charges under Sections 395 and 397 of the Penal Code for armed gang robbery, and Section 457 of the same code for house-breaking.

The suspects also face charges under Sections 411 and 414 of the Penal Code for retaining and disposing of stolen property, Section 447 for criminal trespass, and Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63.

“Police remain committed to taking continuous action against any individual or group involved in criminal activities to ensure the peace and wellbeing of the community, especially in Sabah, are safeguarded,” he said. — Bernama

哥打基纳巴卢，10月30日讯——沙巴州警察总监拿督贾乌特·迪昆表示，沙巴警方已捣毁一个武装犯罪集团，该集团与今年年初以来在多个地区发生的17起团伙抢劫和豪宅盗窃案有关，涉案金额达304,500令吉。

他表示，此次突破是通过两项特别行动——“卡萨行动”和“平图行动”——取得的。这两项行动是在9月份成立特别工作组，调查8月份在州首府发生的两起武装抢劫案之后开展的。

六名年龄在 30 岁至 43 岁之间的男子被拘留，他们共有 75 项犯罪和毒品相关记录。与此同时，警方已展开对其他几名在逃嫌疑人的搜捕行动。

警方还查获了各种贵重物品，包括名表、名牌手提包、电子设备、汽车、渔具和保险箱。

“该犯罪团伙专门袭击无人居住的豪华住宅，如果屋内有人，他们会毫不犹豫地使用刀具恐吓受害者，”他昨天在一份声明中说。

Jauteh表示，调查文件已经完成，所有嫌疑人将于今天在亚庇地方法院被控告。

他们将面临《刑法》第 395 条和第 397 条规定的武装团伙抢劫罪指控，以及《刑法》第 457 条规定的入室盗窃罪指控。

嫌疑人还面临《刑法》第 411 条和第 414 条关于持有和处置赃物的指控，《刑法》第 447 条关于非法侵入的指控，以及 1959/63 年《移民法》第 6(1)(c) 条的指控。

他说：“警方将继续致力于对任何参与犯罪活动的个人或团伙采取持续行动，以确保社区，特别是沙巴州的和平与福祉得到维护。”——马新社
