A 30-YEAR-old woman lost more than RM6,000 after being robbed by a man in an apartment in Sentul Utama, in Kuala Lumpur on Friday.

Sentul district police chief ACP Ahmad Sukarno Mohd Zahari said in the 10pm incident, the victim who was returning home from work took the lift to her home on the fifth floor of the apartment followed in the elevator by the suspect wearing a helmet with black raincoat and pants.

He said the suspect then got out on the fourth floor while the victim, who worked as a barista at a cafe in the capital, continued to her home on the fifth floor.

“As the lift door opens at the fifth floor, the victim was confronted by the suspect and he pressed a knife at the victim’s stomach before ordering her to remove all her personal items including a mobile phone, bank card and personal documents worth about RM6,500,” he said in a statement today.

Sukarno said the suspect, who is estimated to be 160cm tall and weighing 70kg, then fled on an unidentified motorcycle. The case is being investigated under Section 392/397 of the Penal Code for robbery.

“Anyone with information about the suspect’s identity can channel information to the Sentul IPD Control Centre at 03-40482222,” he said. – Bernama, May 21, 2023.
