12/2/13

shared by Peypey Hi

Place: One utama shopping centre
Time: 1745 hrs

Pick pocket alert, pls share.

This just happened bout 10 mins ago. My nephews and i were walking on the link bridge from new wing to old wing on 2nd flr. While we were walking i saw this person with suspicious looking face that keep eyeing my handbag. He was standing near the otto shop, saw him made eyes contact with two of his friend that were positioned opposite him. After we walked pass him, he and his cohort started following us but in separate group and pretending they dont know each other. I hugged my bag and keep turning back to check if they r following us. They indeed were but keep looking at other directions. So we quickly go into one of the nearest shop. They realized we were approaching the shop for asstance therefore quickly turn to the atm way. 1 of the guy is bout 6ft tall, heavy set, chocolate dark skin tone(im not racist but he does look like a malay) with dragon tattoed on his neck and upswept hair with yellow color sweater shirt. Anothe guy is bout same height, but look like a bangladeshi o pakistani with grey shirt with dye yellow color on hair tip. Another one is a bit shorter, aged bout in his 40s and heavy set too, llooks like normal malay chap with grey red sweater. We ve approached the security there, so they r now monitoring the cctv. But peeps, pls b careful n start alert.

Pickpocket at Curve

Pickpocket at Curve
2/2/13
shared by Sharon Xian Lim

My parents got pick pocketed by a group of young men on the escalator by the underpass between IPC and the Curve 45 mins ago. They were sandwiched between 2 men in front and 2 men behind. Nearing the top of the escalator one of the men pretended to "shiver" violently and my old folks were worried. Unbeknownst to them that was planned. My dad found his backpack opened (nothing missing) and his cash in his pocket gone. The men made a u-turn at the top of the escalator back down. This is the escalator beside McD @ the Curve. Please be careful when u r there and be wary when you see a group of young men around the escalator. My parents were marked because in retrospect my dad remembered that they were hanging around there until my parents got onto the escalator.

Beware of you Handbags when Shopping

Another similar incident happened to my bf's mum yesterday afternoon.
We were walking at Jusco One Utama when she felt some small tugging at her bag. Aunty did not suspect anything and just hugged her bag to the front and continued grocery shopping.

We only realized the bag was slit opened when we reached home, but thankfully, the thief's attempt failed and nothing valuable is missing.
Ladies, please beware and stay alert of your belongings.

Hi, would like to share the similar incident happened per Michelle's sharing. It was happened this morning at OUG wet market which is at road side. My Aunty was carrying a recycle bag with her valuable belongings in there. As she thought this might be safer compared to a handbag (recycle bag used to carry vege/ meat etc..). Suddently she has uncomfortable feeling while standing infront of a store and immediately she look at her recycle bag. It was slit openned, but luckily all the valuable belongings still there and she was not been hurt. At that time, there were 2 young Indian gals around 20++ yrs old stand at the side of her recycle bag, we suspect they are well trained under a group. Pls be more alert during CNY shopping, seems we were been targeted during our shopping time. Txz.

Paradigm Mall 4.10 PM
Pickpockets

shared by Dayang Baqdiah

Beware or pickpockets at Paradigm Mall. I was in H&M Paradigm Mall approximately 4.10pm in Sunday 13/Jan. I realized my phone was missing as I entered the fitting room. Isn't wasnt too long that I realized it was gone. I reported to the shop manager, the management of Paradigm Mall and also lodged a report to the police at KJ. After lodging the police report, I went back to Paradigm but the manager said that I cant watch the cctv footage without the presence of a police. But the manager said he can watch it on my behalf. Cctv wasn't much of a help. He said he couldnt see much. Apparently, there were 2 other cases at the same time in h&m as well. So pls be aware of ur surroundings. These people are getting better at this. And I hope the security at malls are better so everyone can feel safe and shop peacefully. Just thought of sharing this to all of u.
