Family claim cops kept burgled items
03 September 2012
JOHOR BARU: A family of five who had foiled a burglary at
their home are now alleging daylight robbery by the police.
Lim Kok Yong, 58, said police had yet to return some
RM200,000 in cash, foreign currencies and jewellery, which were taken as
evidence on May 19.
Lim, from Taman Munshi Inbrahim here, has since lodged two
police reports and sought the assistance of Johor Baru MCA Youth chief Kua Song
Tuck, after failing to secure the items' return.
The family were away when two burglars broke into their
house and escaped with the belongings about 8pm on May 19.
When Lim returned home about 11pm, he and his family were
shocked to see their neighbours gathered in their compound.
Lim said the burglars gained entry into their house via the
back door. After ransacking their house, they loaded the loot, including four
mobile phones, jewellery, foreign currencies, piggy banks, bank passbooks and
RM23,000, into three bags but a neighbour spotted them and alerted the police.
"The police responded quickly but the burglars managed
to escape, abandoning our belongings," Lim said at the South Johor Chinese
Press Club yesterday.
He said witnesses saw policemen loading the three bags into
the boot of a police car.
"The next day, when my son went to the police station
to claim our belongings, they only returned three boxes of bird's nest and two
piggy banks containing coins."
A witness, Ahmad Muslim Abd Rahim, 17, said he and several
neighbours had lodged police reports to confirm that they saw three policemen
taking the three bags.
Johor police chief Datuk Mokhtar Shariff despatched Johor
Baru Utara Criminal Investigation Department chief and a Chinese-speaking
senior police officer to the victim's house.
"I will not tolerate any misuse of power among my
subordinates. At the same time, I will ensure all allegations are investigated
thoroughly."
