BALING: A woman suffered losses amounting to RM10,000 after her bag was stolen near a supermarket in Kupang on Thursday (Jan 29).
Baling OCPD Supt Brandon Anak Richard Joe said the incident is believed to have occurred around 8.40am when the woman parked her grey Perodua Avanza at the supermarket to buy groceries.
"After she finished shopping, the victim returned home and realised her bag was missing from the vehicle.
“A police report was received at 11.40am the same day," he said in a statement on Saturday (Jan 31).
Investigations revealed that the vehicle was parked approximately 15 meters from the supermarket’s front entrance.
"A review of the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage at the scene found a local man, estimated to be in his 20s or 30s, had opened the front door of the vehicle and fled with the victim's bag.
"The RM10,000 in cash was business proceeds the victim had brought along to be deposited into the bank," he added.
The case is being investigated under Section 379 of the Penal Code for theft. – Bernama
