Cops bust burglary gang, arrest six Chinese nationals


SHAH ALAM: Police have arrested several members of a burglary gang, including six male Chinese nationals and a local man, in a series of raids in Kuala Lumpur and Subang Jaya.

Selangor police chief Comm Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the suspects were nabbed in an operation conducted on Oct 5 and 6.

"We believe they have been active since January.

"A police team raided a hotel in Kuala Lumpur and a condominium in Subang Jaya and nabbed the seven suspects," he told a press conference at the Selangor police headquarters here on Monday (Oct 7).

The suspects, aged in their 30s and 40s, targeted two-storey houses when the occupants were not home and stole valuables, including items stored in safes, he said.

"The stolen loot was used by suspects to stay in three-star hotels.

"We believe they are responsible for eight cases in Sabak Bernam, three cases in Negri Sembilan and a case each in Perak and Pahang," he said.

The suspects would drive rented cars to targeted houses before breaking in, he said.

"The local suspect is responsible for targeting houses and selling off the stolen items.

"The six Chinese citizens detained did not have any valid travel documents. We are conducting further investigation to discover how long they have been in the country," he said.
