COMPILED BY ALLISON LAI  and  HEMANANTHANI SIVANANDAM

A BURGLAR who flashed at a wo­­man was caught after he was traced with the handphone he dropped at the scene, Sin Chew Daily reported.

In the 4am incident last Thursday, the man entered a house in Taman Mawar at Titi, Negri Sembilan, which was occupied by the 24-year-old woman and her two nieces.

The woman, who is an accounting manager, said her parents had left the home earlier to tap rubber while her elder brother was away.

“I was with the kids but was not asleep after my parents left for work.

“Suddenly, my room door was pried open and I saw a half-naked man lying on the floor next to the bed lewdly flashing his genitals at me.

“When I screamed, he got up and ran away,” she was quoted as saying.

The man returned shortly later asking for his handphone, to which she threatened to call the police.

The next day, the woman and her neighbour found the phone near the gates, which was then handed to the police.

The man was arrested when he showed up to collect his phone.

A source said a troop of monkeys appeared about a year ago and the one with full white fur caught the most attention.

He claimed that news of residents striking it rich surfaced about six months ago and several of his friends who regularly fed the monkeys won lotteries.

“One of my friends struck 4D eight times in a month,” he said.

He added that some residents gave more fruits to “thank” the animals for their windfall.

“I have seen a resident with a carload of fruits,” he said.
