Cops on the hunt for trio behind RM2mil Taman Hillview heist

KUALA LUMPUR: Police are hunting for three men believed to have stolen a safe during a break-in at a house in Taman Hillview, Hulu Kelang, on Dec 26, resulting in losses estimated at RM2mil.

Ampang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Khairul Anuar Khalid said a police report regarding the incident was lodged on the same day at 12.15pm by a worker at the house after discovering that the rear kitchen door had been forced open when she went to charge her employer’s electric vehicle battery.

“Further inspection found that a safe was missing from the master bedroom, with losses estimated at RM2mil,” he said in a statement here on Thursday.

Khairul Anuar was commenting on a video showing three suspects carrying a safe, which went viral on Wednesday.

After the report was lodged, he said police detained six foreign nationals, including a woman, to assist in the investigation. However, after questioning, they were found not to be involved.
