KUALA LUMPUR: Police have uncovered a new breed of “high-class robbers” who come in as tourists, stay in posh hotels and drive rented cars searching for affluent homes to rob. 

The activities of the robbers came to light last week after a police team from Brickfields arrested seven Indonesians in two hotel rooms in the city following a robbery at a businessman's house in Damansara.
