KEMAMAN - Police on Sunday arrested an unemployed man believed to be behind at least 19 burglary casses around this district.

Kemaman District Police Chief Superintendent Hanyan Ramlan said the 40-year-old suspect was arrested following investigations after receiving a video from a witness.

“With the arrest of the suspect, we seized several items such as jewellery, phones and watches allegedly stolen from victims,” he told the media, here, on Wednesday.

Hanyan said early investigations found the suspect would pounce in moments when the victims were distracted, asleep or were careless in locking their doors.

He said the suspect had also committed such crimes in other districts before preying on residents around Kampung Gong Limau and Kampung Gong Pauh in July.
