SEREMBAN – Police arrested a woman in an apartment in Rawang, Selangor on December 16 for stealing a gold bracelet supposedly for the purpose of settling her boyfriend’s car loan.
Port Dickson district police chief Aidi Sham Mohamed said the woman, 22, admitted to stealing the gold bracelet from a jewellery store in Port Dickson on December 7, before escaping in a Perodua Alza car.
“At about 1pm on the day of the incident, police received a report from the jewellery store’s sales assistant that a couple had gone there on the pretext of wanting to buy jewellery before taking a look at the gold bracelet at 11.38am.
“The suspects then ran off with the bracelet, which is estimated at RM15,000, but police managed to recover it from a pawn shop here,” he said in a statement today.
He added that the women had been investigated under Section 380 of the Penal Code and sentenced to one day’s jail and fined RM7,000.
Aidi said police are now looking for one Muhammad Haikal Izhar, 20, of Bandar Sri Sendayan to assist in their probe, and urged anyone with information regarding the incident to contact investigating officer Mohd Hazizi Abas at 019-3471916/06-6472344. – Bernama, December 20, 2022
