SHE looked like the easiest of prey - a 57-year-old grandmother alone in her car.

 

And not only did the robbers outnumber her two to one, they were also armed with a wicked-looking 'Rambo' knife.

 

But what the robbers did not count on was for this granny to give chase after they had robbed her of her handbag.

 

In the end, one of the robbers lost his life when the motorcycle they were fleeing on skidded and crashed.

 

The robbery attempt happened on Saturday morning when former journalist Mariah Samad was getting into her car outside her home in Petaling Jaya, reported the New Sunday Times.

 

As she was about to leave, two men approached her on a motorcycle and politely asked her for directions.

 

Suddenly, one of them demanded that she hand over her handbag.

 

When Madam Mariah refused, he whipped out a knife and threatened to kill her.

 

'The pillion rider opened the car door and grabbed my bag,' she said.

 

'I started honking and screaming but no one came to my aid.'

 

As the robbers sped off, Madam Mariah jumped into her Proton Wira and chased them right onto the Damansara-Puchong Highway.

 

During the pursuit, Madam Mariah honked her horn furiously in the hope that someone would help stop the fleeing thieves.

 

Two kilometres into the chase, the motorcyclist lost control of the bike and crashed into a roadside barrier.

 

The 24-year-old pillion rider died on the spot.

 

The rider, who was not heavily injured, managed to limp away from the accident.

 

He then hailed a taxi and asked the driver to take him to Sungei Gelek in Klang.

 

Suspecting that something was amiss, the taxi driver locked the doors of his vehicle and drove the robber to the Kelana Jaya police station, where the robber was arrested.

 

The identity of the 20-year-old robber was not released by the police.

 

While Madam Mariah was commended by the police for her actions, they have cautioned her against going after fleeing criminals because of the risks involved.

Robbers do not deserve to die. My sympathy goes to the robber who died in such tragic accident. If they are rich, they won't have to rob anyway. But I think the punishment is too heavy this time.

getting a low pay job in MY is not that tough. he can always work hard and spend less but he chose to rob, and worse, to an old granny [thumbsdown]

 

but agreed, the punishment is a bit too heavy. hope he learned as he finds his way to heaven.
