Rompin police chief Superintendent Sharif Shai Sharif Mondoi said policemen from the Muadzam Shah police station received information from the public while conducting patrol rounds at about 8.30pm. "Upon inspecting the Myvi, officers confirmed it was the same vehicle reported stolen last week. A gold-coloured bracelet, which had been listed as missing during the break-in, was found in the car.

Suspect breaks into Muadzam Shah home as owner is asleep, drives away Myvi
ROMPIN: A teacher received a rude shock when she woke up to discover that her house had been broken into and her car stolen at Prima Gadak in Muadzam Shah near here today. The suspects, who broke into the premises while the 33-year-old victim was asleep with her two children, aged six and one, also made off with a gold ring, a bracelet, and RM250 in cash. Rompin district police chief Superintendent Sharif Shai Sharif Mondoi said the victim realised her house had been burgled around 7am when she noticed her mobile phone was missing. "She discovered that the cupboard in her room had been ransacked and her handbag was gone. When she stepped out of the room, she saw her Perodua Myvi, which had been parked in front of the house, was missing. "Upon inspecting the premises, she found the back room window open and the rear toilet window was wide open. She usually keeps the toilet window unlocked for ventilation," he said in a statement today. Sharif Shai said investigations revealed the woman and her children were the only ones at home during the incident, as her husband was at work at a nearby factory. "The suspects are believed to have entered the house through the toilet window and taken the car key, which was hanging on the wall and climbed out through the window. No CCTV cameras were installed at the premises. "The woman's handbag, along with several documents, was later recovered near her house's back alley. It is believed the suspects discarded it before fleeing," he said, adding that losses were estimated some RM33,450. He said the case is being investigated under housebreaking and vehicle theft, and police are urging anyone with information to contact the nearest police station.
