SHAH ALAM: Using some 30-odd pieces of simple wire hair clips, two young thieves had been able to pick expensive and secure locks of several houses around TTDI Jaya here.
The two youths, aged 19 and 20, were arrested after neighbours at Jalan Sastera 10, U2/1K spotted them and informed the police at 11.38am on Monday.
Police detained the two inside a Proton Wira car. In the back seat, police recovered four laptops worth RM11,600 stolen from a house rented by students of a nearby polytechnic.
Police also discovered the hair-clips, sets of keys for grille gates, screwdrivers and spanners.
Shah Alam acting deputy OCPD Deputy Supt Anuar Mohammad said both men were arrested within seven minutes after a neighbour called the police.
The arrest was made possible as the caller had given many details such as the suspects’ car and the colours of their t-shirts and even of their shoes, he said.
DSP Anuar said both the thieves were remanded for four days until Oct 2. “In this case the neighbours played a crucial part in the arrest of the suspects.
“We believe the duo are slick characters who are able to break in and leave the house within 15 minutes without arousing suspicion,” he said.
Initial investigations revealed that the men were from Cheras in Kuala Lumpur and Kota Tinggi in Johor.
The Proton Wira used was borrowed from one of the suspect’s sister.
