The 26-year old guard  stormed into the the premise in KL festival City Mall shortly after it was opened for business at about 9am and pointed his gun at the seven workers including branch manager.

City police deputy CID chief Assistant Commissioner Khairi Ahrasa said no one was injured in the incident.

"The suspect is the guard on duty for the store that day. He fled with an undisclosed amount jewellery," he said when met at the Kuala Lumpur hospital this morning.

The robbery closely resembled the murder-cum-robbery in Subang last week where a bank's security guard, also from Sabah and with a fake ID, shot dead a bank officer and fled with RM450,000.
