Thieves break into Titiwangsa Gurdwara

KUALA LUMPUR: Thieves broke into the office of the Gurdwara Sahib in Titiwangsa, here and stole about RM7,500.

Wangsa Maju acting OCPD Deputy Supt A. Asmadi Abdul Aziz said a temple worker, coming into work at about 6am, found that the office door had been pried open.

DSP Asmadi said the worker found the office safe open and about RM7,500 missing.

"The safe had not been pried open. Rather the suspects opened it using the correct combination and a key.

"Only the temple’s chairman and secretary have a key to the safe," he said Wednesday.

"We have obtained four sets of fingerprints from the scene. Checks on the closed-circuit television (CCTV) equipment found that the suspect had also taken the tapes with them."

The case is being investigated under Section 457 of the Penal Code for housebreaking.
