BUTTERWORTH: Three men pulled off a brazen heist, fleeing with about 10kg of gold from a gold processing factory at Jalan Siram, here today. The incident happened about 9.30am when two workers emerged from the factory, carrying the gold in a bag to a pickup truck. Two men, armed with hammers, snatched the gold-laden bag from the workers while the getaway driver remained in the car. As the robbers made their escape, one of the factory's security guards fired his gun three times at the car, but all his shots missed the target. The case is being investigated under Section 395/397 of the Penal Code for gang robbery and armed robbery.
