MUAR: A 38-year-old mechanic’s house was broken into while he was at work, with valuables worth about RM230,000 stolen.
Muar OCPD Asst Comm Raiz Mukhliz Azman Aziz said the victim’s neighbour noticed strange sounds coming from his home in Bakri here last Friday (May 2) morning and decided to inform him.
“The victim rushed home to find that his house had been broken into and his luxury vehicle missing.
“A search for the suspects is ongoing,” Raiz Mukhliz said in a statement on Monday (May 5).
A closed-circuit television footage of the incident showed a person talking outside the house while another person drove the victim’s car out of the porch.
The case is being investigated under Section 457 of the Penal Code for housebreaking and Section 379A of the Penal Code for vehicle theft.
ACP Raiz Mukhliz urged those with information about the incident to head to the nearest police station or call the Muar police hotline at 06-9564 800.
