MELAKA – A factory worker has been arrested for breaking into the Selandar post office in Jasin and setting fire to tables and chairs at its service counter last night.
Melaka Criminal Investigation Department chief Mohd Sukri Kaman said police arrested the 43-year-old at a house in Pekan Selandar after receiving a report lodged by the postmaster.
The team also confiscated clothes, and tools and a lighter believed to have been used in the 9.15pm break-in.
The suspect, who has been remanded for four days, confessed to committing the crime and said he started the fire after getting upset that there was nothing of value to steal, added Sukri. – Bernama, July 19, 2021
