ALOR GAJAH: A trader lost about RM10,000 after two bracelets weighing 29.26g were stolen by a supposed customer in an incident at a goldsmith shop at the Mara building here.
Alor Gajah district police chief Supt Ashari Abu Samah said in the 12.50pm incident on Wednesday, the victim, Noor Akhmar Abu Bakar, 28, was approached by a woman aged between 30 and 40 who wanted to see a bracelet.
He said the victim, who was accompanied by her mother at the time, then handed a bracelet to the suspect before the suspect asked for another bracelet.
“After receiving the two bracelets, the suspect then ran away towards a vehicle parked in front of the shop.
“There was a man acting as a driver waiting in the vehicle,” he said in a statement to Bernama yesterday.
Initial investigations uncovered fingerprints at the scene.
Supt Ashari said the case was being investigated under Section 380 of the Penal Code for theft in a building.
