PETALING JAYA: A granddaughter of former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has apparently lost belongings and jewellery estimated at about RM1.8mil after her home was broken into.
Sources said the burglary was discovered at around 3pm on Wednesday when the granddaughter’s domestic helper found that the rear gate had been cut open and the bedroom ransacked at the home in Bukit Ledang, Kuala Lumpur.
“Preliminary estimates indicate losses amounting to RM1.8mil, involving the theft of jewellery from the victim’s bedroom,” acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad said.
He added that the house was inhabited mainly by the help at the time.
“We are working on leads. We have not identified the exact date of the incident and investigations will take time,” he said.
