KUALA LUMPUR: Five women were attacked and robbed by a group of Mat Rempit while refuelling at a petrol station in Jalan Travers, Bangsar, early on Saturday.

Their ordeal lasted about 20 minutes and despite their cries for help, no one came to their aid, alleged one of the victims yesterday.


 

M. Uma, 34, said she and four others were on the way to Puchong about 3.30am on Saturday when they stopped to refuel at a station in Jalan Travers.


 

"We noticed there was a group of about 15 men on eight motorcycles loitering near one of the pumps but did not suspect anything.


 

"One of my friends went into the station to pay for fuel and as she was walking back to the car, one of the men pushed her from the back and grabbed her mobilephone," said Uma, a customer service executive.

Two of the Mat Rempit then charged the Toyota Avanza the victims were in and attacked them.


 

"The men had soft drink tins in their hands and poured the drinks on our faces while trying to snatch our jewellery.


 

"One of them opened the rear passenger door and tried reaching for my chain but got my bracelet instead," she said.


 

Uma claimed there were three pump attendants inside the station and several other motorists around as they screamed for help but no one came to aid them.


 

The Mat Rempit escaped with three mobilephones, a gold chain and a bracelet, worth a total of about RM5,000. The victims sustained minor cuts and bruises to their hands and faces.


 

Three police patrol cars arrived at the scene soon after and police obtained CCTV footage from the premises.


 

Brickfields police chief Assistant Commissioner Wan Abdul Bari Wan Abdul Khalid said there were no arrests yet.
