A businessman lost more than RM13,000 cash

A businessman lost more than RM13,000 cash and properties after his car was broken into near Lintas Square, here, early Saturday.

The victim said his wife came over to the shop about 1am and kept his LV brand sling bag in the car before leaving him to continue drinking with his friends.
He only realised his loss about 4.30am when he and his friends wanted to leave for home.

According to a friend of the victim, they did not see or hear anything prior but saw the window of the vehicle had been broken and the sling bag in it missing.
However, due to the Friend Finder system that the victim's wife had installed into his handphone, they managed to locate the phone when they called the DiGi service centre.

"At first, the system revealed that the handphone was somewhere near a five-star hotel around Sembulan, so we went there to ask the receptionist for information.

"They were hesitant to give any customer information at first but were forced to cooperate when the police arrived," the businessman added.

He said CCTV footage then revealed that a couple had checked into the hotel recently but checked out 20 minutes after that and left in a Perodua Kancil believed rented from Bandaran Berjaya.
The second investigation revealed that the couple were somewhere near Foh Sang and they managed to apprehend both victims soon after.

The suspects, a 45-year-old woman from Perak, and her husband, 30, were apprehended to help in investigations.
The male suspect, however, denied stealing anything and said it was his elder brother who was behind the theft.
