KUCHING: A couple lost cash and items worth more than RM150,000 after their house at Tabuan Heights here was broken into at around 9pm on Monday.
The burglary took place into when the couple went out shopping. However, none of the two realised their house had been burgled upon their arrival, not until the wife realised something was missing from her dressing table.
A check downstairs revealed that the side sliding door was forced open and the burglar or burglars only went for expensive small items. Their master bedroom was the main target whereby their safe there had been forced open.
Besides the jewellery, diamonds included, burglars also made off with two branded watches and RM15,000 cash.
Kuching District Police chief, ACP Awang Din Awang Gani said police were investigating the case under Section 457 of the Penal Code for house breaking and theft.
He called for any eye-witnesses or those with information on the case to call the nearest police station.
