Late-night Internet surfers in Malaysia are being robbed by armed thieves who strip their victims and lock them in toilets before escaping.
The gang has ripped off cash, jewellery and mobile phones in the early morning heists in Selangor state surrounding Kuala Lumpur, state police chief Mangsor Ismail told the Star Newspaper.
Police have set up a task force to track the seven-man group, which has struck several times in the past week, stealing from about 20 people in each incident, said Mangsor.
Internet cafes are widespread in Malaysia's urban areas, though Internet penetration in the country is less than 10 percent, compared with neighbouring Singapore's 40 percent.
