Robbery at Service Station

A friend related the following to me:

Just a few days' ago, his prospective son-in-law (let's call him John) was at a Shell station in Sunway. After inserting his credit card into a pump, he turned to open his petrol tank cap. Just then a Mat Rempit who was obviously hiding behind this pump popped out and removed the credit card from the slot!

It was done so fast that John didn't realise his credit card was hijacked.

Only when a lady at another pump who witnessed this gestured towards the Mat Rempit who by then has inserted his credit card in another pump did John realise the Mat Rempit was using his card to pump petrol.

Going over, John confronted him. Instead, this Mat Rempit attacked John with his helmet. Then John saw a few other Mat Rempits rushing towards them (with helmets swinging) that John quickly got into his car and bolted. About six Mat Rempits pursued him on their bikes. Meanwhile, John was calling the police on his mobile giving the police the location of the Shell Station.

Meanwhile, there was carnage at the petrol station because the station manager shut-down the whole station's system thereby disabling the pumps. The Mat Rempits went berserk and attacked the petrol station's pumps and equipment. Everyone ran like a tsunami just struck.

By this time, John returned to the petrol station with the Mat Rempits still hot in pursuit. Unknown to them, the police has already arrived with a few patrol cars. Those Mat Rempits ran straight into the arms of the law!

John was lucky. Moral of the story is that this could happen to anyone of us and one of our loved ones.

Think about the above and take appropriate precautions at petrol stations or anywhere public.

Please take care,
