Lorry driver’s efforts to fight off snatch thief in vain

This is where it happened: Lim re-enacting the incident to our reporter at the exact spot where his gold chain was snatched at a stall at Taman Asean in Malim

MELAKA: A lorry driver put up a big fight when a snatch thief grabbed his gold chain, so much so that for one brief moment, he hanged on perilously at the side of the thief’s kapcai.

But Lim Ek Chien’s efforts were in vain as the snatch thief, who came with three accomplices on three motorcycles, fled with the RM11,000 chain with gemstone pendants.
