KUALA LUMPUR - Police are hunting for three men believed to have stolen a safe during a break-in at a house in Taman Hillview, Hulu Kelang, on Dec 26, resulting in losses estimated at RM2 million.
Ampang Jaya district police chief ACP Khairul Anuar Khalid said a police report regarding the incident was lodged on the same day at 12.15pm by a worker at the house after discovering that the rear kitchen door had been forced open when she came to charge her employer’s electric vehicle battery.
"Further inspection found that a safe was missing from the master bedroom, with losses estimated at RM2 million,” he said in a statement here on Thursday.
Khairul was commenting on a video showing three suspects carrying a safe, which went viral on Wednesday morning.
After the report was lodged, he said police detained six foreign nationals, including a woman, to assist in the investigation. However, after questioning, they were found not to be involved.
Police are currently tracking down the three suspects who are still at large, and the case is being investigated under Section 457 of the Penal Code.
Earlier, a 38-second closed-circuit television (CCTV) video went viral showing three men, each wearing a cap, carrying an object believed to be a safe estimated to weigh about 100 kilogrammes at a house. - BERNAMA
