GEORGE TOWN: At least six shots were fired at a bungalow of a
businessman in Pulau Tikus early Thursday, but no one was injured in the
incident, police said.
OCPD Gan Kong Meng said the businessman
had earlier lodged a police report claiming that he received an
extortion letter together with six bullets.
Only the businessman's 29-year-old son, his wife and their maid were at home during the 1.15am incident.
ACP Gan said the couple had a shock when they discovered fragments of
broken window panels and bullet marks at the house here in Jalan Utama.
"Based on the CCTV footages, the gunman fired the shots randomly outside the house.
"The owner of the house who is now abroad had lodged a report earlier
when he received an extortion letter with six bullets," he said.
ACP Gan said the owner also received a text message in Chinese demanding that he deposit money into a local bank account.
"We have since frozen the telephone numbers and the bank account," he
said, adding that the case is being investigated for criminal
intimidation.

Mum & I were robbed today. We were exiting into Subang Jaya from
Federal Highway when two Indian men in a Kancil rammed our car really
really hard from behind. I stopped at the side of the road, but did not
get out of the car, instead wind down the window a little and told him
to drive to the nearest police station to
deal with the situation. He insisted I come out of the car to view the
damage that was done. He said, its just a small dent so we should not
involve the police. I insisted again that we drive to the police
station. He was standing a good 3 feet away from the car when with one
swift move, he reached for my car keys (through the small window
opening) and pulled it out of the ignition. The car automatically
unlocked.
Another guy appeared and opened the front passenger
door and was trying to grab my mothers handbag from her after he had
successfully yanked off her gold chain. My mother angled her body in
such a way that she could kick him and manage to kick his face a few
times while clutching to her handbag. The other guy on my side had also
yanked off my gold chain and took my handphone. We were screaming at the
top of our lungs while trying to fight them off. They they ran back to
their car & drove off.
Reminder to everyone, DO NOT STOP
if someone hits your car. Especially if you are driving alone. Thank God
that these robbers were not armed and mum & I only have minor
scratches.
KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 9, 2013): The windows of nine cars parked in Taman
Dato Harun along the New Pantai Expressway were broken and valuables in
the vehicles stolen.
The incident was discovered at about
4.30am and involved, among others, two Perodua Myvi, a Proton Gen 2, a
Proton Wira, a Proton Waja and a Nissan Sentra.
The owner of one the cars, Subramaniam, 33, said he was informed of the incident at about 6.30am by neighbours who had suffered the same fate.
"Usually we park the car in front of the house but since relatives were
visiting our neighbours last night for Hari Raya, the parking lot was
full and we parked the car at a distance from the house," he told
Bernama when met at the scene of the incident.
"As a result of
the incident, I have incurred a loss of about RM4,000 which includes the
cost of my SmartTag (RM280), car speakers (subwoofer) and power
amplifiers," he said.
Laili Azura Abdul Rahman, 37, said she
only became aware of the burglary when her brother wanted to leave for
Melaka at 6am and they found both their cars broken into.
Petaling Jaya district police chief ACP Arjunaidi Mohamed confirmed the incident. – Bernama
