Southwest District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Sazalee Adam, said a preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect entered the home through the back door while the maid was outside disposing of trash.
“The suspect fled the scene upon realising the homeowner was present, but returned to retrieve some forgotten items."
"He was later apprehended by the homeowner and his friends, who handed him over to a Mobile Patrol Vehicle (MPV) unit patrolling Zone 3, Batu Maung,” he said.
The suspect is currently being held on remand for four days
Police also stated that a urine test showed the suspect tested positive for three different drugs, methamphetamine, amphetamine, and benzodiazepine. He also has a prior record related to drug offences.
