KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) _ Police and news reports say robbers fled with 1 million ringgit (US$300,000) in a brazen bank heist just 100 yards (meters) from a Malaysian police station. The four men armed with pistols pulled up in a car outside the bank Monday and forced two security guards who were loading bags of cash into an armored van to hand them the money.
The New Straits Times newspaper quoted a witness as saying the robbers "were so confident and quick, we thought they were filming a movie." A district police chief in Johor state, Abdul Majid Mohamad Ali, confirmed the incident on Tuesday, but declined to elaborate.
The robbers reportedly wore ski masks and escaped in less than five minutes.
