Four masked, knife-wielding robbers climbed over a wall and entered a house in the early hours. They threatened and bound an ethnic Chinese couple, stole cash, gold jewelry, crystal stones, luxury watches and other property worth more than RM100,000, then quickly fled the scene. Fortunately, no one in the victim’s family was injured.
The incident occurred at around 2:30 a.m. on the 31st of last month at a residence near Ningxin Garden in Tabuan Jaya, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.
Footage circulating on social media showed that the four robbers tried to break into two other homes nearby but were unsuccessful in both attempts. They then continued searching for targets around the residential area and eventually targeted the victim’s family.
The footage shows that after the four men climbed over the wall into the residential property, they first surveyed the surroundings for about 10 minutes. They then used tools to pry open a glass sliding door and forcibly entered the house.
At the time, the homeowner, his wife and their 14-year-old son were all asleep. The intruders woke the family and ordered them to keep quiet. The homeowner initially even thought he was still dreaming.
The robbers then entered the bedroom, threatened the family with sharp objects such as a kitchen cleaver, and bound the couple’s hands and feet with electrical wire. They then gagged the couple with cloth while ordering the child to close his eyes.
The four robbers took RM5,000 in cash, crystal stones, gold jewelry and seven luxury watches, with the stolen property valued at more than RM100,000. After confirming that the robbers had left, the homeowner freed himself from his restraints and immediately called the police. Police are now following up on the case.
