He pays price for robbing cop's neighbour
This burglar must be cursing his luck - after he broke into a house as an off-duty policeman watched.
Corporal Che Zamila Che, 38, was smoking outside his Petaling Jaya home on Friday afternoon when he saw a burly man on a motorcycle riding past.
The man was looking into the houses before stopping in front of his neighbour’s place.
Initially, the Shah Alam-based cop thought the biker was his neighbour’s friend.
But when the man carried a bag towards the iron grille door, he realised something was fishy.
He said:
“I ran into the house, pointed the gun to his back and shouted ‘Baring!’ (lie down).”
He pinned the man to the ground, then handcuffed him.
A search revealed screwdrivers, a bunch of keys and a metal rod inside the man's bag.
Referring to the spate of break-ins and robberies in the neighbourhood, Cpl Che Zamila added:
“My neighbours always say they call the police but they arrive too late. Even when I called for help, they only came about 30 minutes later.
"As a policeman, I get upset when I hear this happening to my neighbours."
Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Azmi Abu Kassim said the suspect was just released from prison for committing a robbery.
He faces up to two years jail for the latest attempted crime.
