THERE is an old saying that a person's home is their castle, and indeed the home should be the place where a person feels that their belongings - and them - are at their safest.
This would also mean that any home invasion is a jarring shock, especially when large items such as vehicles are removed right out from a house's front porch.
Recently, a video went viral of such an incident happening and it is claimed that it took place in Ipoh.
Is this true?
VERDICT:
TRUE
In a statement issued on the police's official Facebook account, Ipoh OCPD Asst Comm Abang Zainal Abidin Abang Ahmad said that a report was received on Sept 29 about a black Toyota Alphard being stolen from a Jelapang, Ipoh home.
"A black Toyota Alphard which was parked in the driveway within the house's gated compound was stolen," he said.
ACP Abang Zainal said that the investigation into the case is being conducted under Section 379A of the Penal Code.
"Anyone with information is requested to come forward to assist the investigations by contacting the Ipoh District Control Center at 05-245 2222 or any nearby police station," he added.
