Thief steals gun, bullets from sleeping police officer
(The Malay Mail) – A 48-year-old serious crimes officer was robbed of his gun with 15 bullets today as he lay sleeping in his car in Section 7, Shah Alam.
The sergeant-major was returning home after attending his father’s funeral in Klang at around 1.45am when he stopped his car by the side of the road for a short nap, said the Star online news portal.
He had wound down the car window halfway, the report said.
Halfway through his nap, he felt something tugging at his thigh and woke up to find a man trying to pull out his Walther semi-automatic gun from its holster.
The thief escaped in a red Honda motorcycle before the officer could react, the Star said.
The officer was also believed to have been relieved of his passport, smartphone and RM600 in cash.
Selangor acting police chief Datuk A. Thaiveegan confirmed the incident after the officer lodged a police report.
