KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Customs director Datuk Dr Janathan Kandok suffered losses of about RM70,000, including a departmental vehicle, when his house in Taman Ujana Kingfisher, here was burgled early Friday.

During the incident, Janathan and his family were sleeping. His maid discovered the burglary at about 3am.

Among the items that were stolen was a Proton Inspira car, a laptop computer, and an iPad.
