Sharing her frightening experience as a reminder to others, the woman posted a dashcam video showing the moment a man snatched her bag while she was refueling her car.

According to the woman, known online as Cabi, the incident took place before Chinese New Year on 10 February at a Shell petrol station in Puchong Jaya.

“Sharing this as a reminder to always be aware of your surroundings, don’t be so blur like me. Hope none of you ever experience this. Please be safe,” she wrote.

Thankfully, a car behind her stopped to help immediately after the incident by lending her a phone and even driving her to a friend’s house.

Police report lodged

A police report has been lodged, but as of this article, Cabi said the thief is still at large.

“For everyone asking, no, the police have not managed to find him yet. On that day, I went back and forth between two different police stations and only got home late at night. It was under investigation, but I haven’t received any updates since then,” she shared on her IG Story.
