RAWANG : Police shot dead four members of the notorious “Pak Ee” gang near the Bristol cement factory here today.

All four were high on the police wanted list, said Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar, who added that police were looking for the rest of the gang of Indonesians.

The gang members are suspected to have committed at least 15 robberies in the Klang Valley since June.

He told reporters at the scene that police spotted the four suspects in a car at the Selayang wholesale market at 6.15am.

Earlier, they were reported to have attempted unsuccessfully to break into a house in Jinjang.

Upon realising that the police were on their tail, Khalid said, they sped off but skidded near the cement factory.

Realising that they were surrounded, the four gang members, who were armed with a machete and scythe, got out of the car and attacked the police, forcing the police to open fire, bringing all four down, he added.

Police also seized a parang, knife and a sharp iron rod that were in the car.

Khalid said police had been hunting the four, aged between 22 and 39, since a robbery in Shah Alam in June in which cash and jewellery worth RM500,000 were taken and a maid raped.
