KLANG: A car was torched and a dog was injured in a molotov cocktail attack on a home at Jalan Aman Perdana 4c/ku5, Taman Aman Perdana, here, this morning.

Two fire bombs had been thrown in the 2.20am incident, one at the victim's car which was parked outside and another in the house compound.

The house owner, M. Mosses, 54, said he was sleeping soundly when his seven-year-old German Shepard had suddenly started barking loudly.

 "I looked out the window and saw my wife's car burning.

 "My dog was barking and trying to jump over the gate to chase the culprits," he said at his home today.

 He added that he had immediately tried to douse the fires and managed to extinguish them.

 However, the bumper of his wife's Mazda2 car had been badly damaged while his dog suffered burns on its legs.

 Mosses, his wife and daughter were unhurt.

 Mosses said he had been living in the neighbourhood for the past five years and it was the first time his home had been attacked.

 North Klang district deputy police chief Superintendent Jani Ahmad confirmed the incident and said police had found glass fragments in the house compound.

 "A neighbourhood security guard stationed about 500 metres away saw two men on a motorcycle throw bottles at the house.

 "However, the guard did not manage to spot the vehicle number plate," he said when contacted.

The case will be investigated under Section 435 of the Penal Code for mischief by fire or explosive substance with intent to cause damage to amount of fifty ringgit.

The Star 17/8/13 

JOHOR BARU: A group of thieves set a house on fire at Taman Sri Putri in Skudai in a bid to eliminate any trace of evidence.

It is learnt that they carted away over RM90,000 in jewellery and cash that were kept in the house before setting it on fire at about 4pm on Thursday.

Retiree Poh Qing Fei, 60, said that he, his ex-wife and son were not at home when the thieves struck.

“I was out of town, visiting my brother in Muar and my ex-wife was out shopping at that time,” he said, adding that his son was at work.

Poh said he was informed of the incident yesterday by his younger brother, who lived nearby.

“When I arrived home, I was shocked to see the inside of my house almost completely burnt.’

“Following inspection, we realised that our jewellery worth about RM50,000 were stolen,” he said.

Johor Baru North deputy OCPD Supt Beh Eng Lai said police were investigating the case.

“We believe that the thieves had burnt the house just to cover up their act,” he said.

Supt Beh said the case had been classified as burglary, besides causing mischief by fire or explosive substance with intent to destroy a house under the Penal Code.
