Two loan sharks stormed into a mall and splashed red paint at a hair salon in Johor Bahru, accidentally hitting two Singaporean customers inside the premises
According to China Press, witnesses claimed the perpetrators wore masks when they committed the act on Saturday, 11 October.
About 10 people were in the salon at the time, including four staff members.
"I heard everyone screaming. It was chaotic. I believe the staff members were also frightened and did not try to stop the suspects," a Singaporean witness told the Chinese daily.
He said he and his friend were splashed with the red paint on their hair and bodies.
The suspects fled the scene shortly after the incident and did not harm anyone
Johor Bahru Utara police chief ACP Balveer Singh Mahindar Singh confirmed the incident after an employee lodged a police report on the matter the same day.
Initial investigations revealed the incident occurred around 11.50am when two suspects entered the salon and threw plastic bags filled with red paint into the premises.
"The paint splashed onto the furniture and customers inside the salon. No injuries were reported, but losses are estimated at RM15,000," he said in a statement yesterday, 12 October.
