TAWAU: A man who committed two robberies using a 68-centimetre long parang Friday 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.
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.
“The victim asked for help from passers-by 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,” he said.
