Smash-and-grab incident on the rise, Melaka cops tell female drivers to be vigilant
MELAKA: Melaka police have expressed alarm over an increasing trend of snatch thieves targeting lone female drivers at traffic light stops.
State police chief Datuk Abdul Jalil Hassan said the force would step up effort against the perpetrators, but also urged female drivers to be alert of their surroundings.
“These thieves will first peek through potential victim’s car window to see if the handbag is placed at the front passenger seat.
“If the door is not locked, then they will attempt to open the door and grab the victim’s handbag.
“But if the door is locked, they will smash the car window to get it,” he told a press conference at the state police headquarters in Bukit Beruang here.
Abdul Jalil also advised female drivers to refrain from placing handbags on the front passenger seat to avoid becoming an easy target for snatch thieves.
“Female drivers should hide their handbags underneath their car seat or anywhere that is not visible from the outside.
“We are reminding the public to be cautious because the trend is increasing in Melaka.

Cops oblige after snatch thieves ask to be ‘picked up’
KUALA LUMPUR: Police brought down a snatch theft gang which has been terrorising tourists in the KLCC area after the suspects “asked to be picked up”.
Their undoing began after two of them tried to rob a South Korean tourist walking along Jalan Raja Chulan at about 6.30pm on Feb 9.
When the pillion rider grabbed the 28-year-old woman’s purse, she held on to it, causing the two suspects to lose their balance and fall off their motorcycle.
“Passers-by rushed to help the tourist but the suspects managed to run away and left behind their Yamaha 135LC motorcycle at the scene,” said Dang Wangi OCPD Asst Comm Zainol Samah.
…
“We checked one of their phones and saw an SMS conversation between him and one of the suspects in the earlier case. It told us that they had lost their motorcycle and had asked to be picked up in Bukit Bintang,” said ACP Zainol
Police, he added, obliged the suspects’ request and “picked them up” near a convenience store in the popular tourist area. In their wallets were a stack of foreign currency from Saudi Arabia, China, Bangladesh and Indonesia.
The four suspects – all 19-year-olds – later confessed to several snatch theft cases in the city and have been put under remand to be investigated for gang robbery.

Snatch thefts still major concern in Bangsar, say cops

Police have reminded residents and visitors in the Bangsar neighbourhood in Kuala Lumpur to be vigilant against snatch thieves.
Brickfields police chief Sharul Othman said there had been 18 snatch theft cases until November this year. In 2014, there were a total of 19 cases over the whole year, the StarMetro reported.
“Based on our data, many cases occurred during the day, with more incidents on Saturdays and Sundays,” he was quoted as saying.
Sharul said police were taking steps to tackle the problem, including increasing the number of uniformed policemen patrolling the area.
“In addition to plainclothes policemen, we also have a motorcycle patrol unit, mobile patrol vehicles and policemen patrolling on foot in the area.
“After every incident, we will look through all the closed-circuit television cameras in the location to identify the suspect through various aspects, such as their clothes, helmet, motorcycle and the plate number.
…
Bangsar Baru Residents Association president Datuk George Joseph, however, said residents had not heard of any snatch theft of late.
“The police will update us monthly on crime in Bangsar Baru and I have not received any statistics on snatch thefts in the last two months.
“Bangsar Baru residents are connected through a WhatsApp group that was created two years ago to keep all residents informed about the crime in the area.
“So, if any snatch theft took place involving the residents, we would have known. As far as the residents are concerned, the safety situation is good at the moment,” he added.

Top cop slams bias claim by Chinese daily http://bit.ly/1SyrTJu
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar today slammed Chinese daily, Sin Chew, for purportedly claiming that police were biased in their actions against crime.
Khalid took to his Twitter account to hit out at the paper, which carried an article about his men’s swift action in apprehending suspects in a snatch theft case, whose victim was a personnel in the force.
“Tiada pilih kasih dlm tindakan @PDRMsia terhadap jenayah ragut. Akhbar ini jgn lah cuba mengapi api kan pembaca!” the IGP said in a caption with a screenshot of the offending article. (Translation: “There is no prejudice in the police’s action on snatch theft cases. This newspaper should not incite readers”‘).
Sin Chew had put up the story on its Facebook account with a caption reading: “Yet another snatch theft case, but this case was solved swiftly.”
Malaysiakini reported that the daily later apologised to the police over the post, but said it was not its intention to suggest police were biased in the case.
“The status was not meant to question whether police were biased in its investigation. It was to show the positive attitude of the police in handling the case and highlight their efficiency.
“This was proven when police solved many important cases in a short period of time recently,” it said. – November 7, 2015.

WHEN IN BANGKOK, WATCH OUT FOR SNATCH THIEVES!
S’pore woman in Bangkok foils thieves on motorcycle by holding on to bag http://ow.ly/2bsLac
…
One moment she was taking photos of the famous Erawan shrine in Bangkok.
The next, she was being dragged by a pair of snatch thieves on a motorcycle.
Mrs Puran Kaur was taking pictures of the shrine with her husband’s handphone when her bag and the phone were snatched by someone riding a motorcycle.
The incident happened last Thursday (April 30), the day she was supposed to fly back to Singapore.
“My first instinct was to hang on to my bag,” the 52-year-old owner of Bollywood club Moshi Moshi told The New Paper.
“I looked up and all I saw was the back wheel of the motorcycle and the exhaust pipe,” she added.
She said she eventually let go after being dragged for about 100m from the pavement and onto the road.
She found her bag on the roadside later.
Amazingly, her husband’s phone was later returned to her by a Thai taxi driver.

Snatch thieves outnumbering cops, says lawyer
PETALING JAYA, Dec 20 — The number of snatch thieves on the streets is larger than the number of police officers, according to criminal lawyer S. Selvam.
Selvam, who handles snatch theft cases, said the shortage of enforcement officers was the reason for the rising number of snatch thefts.
“A law can be in place but if there are no policemen on the streets, the snatch thieves will be there,” he said.
“It will be easier for them to prey on passers by.”
Sharing similar sentiments was criminal lawyer Afifuddin Ahmad Hafif, who said no form of punishment would reduce the crime rate.
“You can enhance the punishment for the crime but it does not mean people will stop committing the offence,” he said.
Asked if the suggestion by Gerakan Wanita chief Datuk Tan Lian Hoe to impose mandatory whipping as a stiffer sentence for snatch theft was practical, Afifuddin disagreed.
…
Malaysians Against Rape, Assault and Snatch Theft (Marah) founder Dave Avran said the organisation had been requesting mandatory whipping for snatch thieves for the last three years.
“The number of deaths from snatch thefts is worrying and the modus operandi can be quite aggressive,” he said.
He said whipping would be a good deterrent.

MalaysiakiniOoops! Snatch thief undone by sarong
In his haste to flee the crime scene, a snatch thief in Tumpat, Kelantan, pedaled his bicycle vigorously. But his attire or rather lack of it foiled his escape bid.
The 36-year-old man was then caught by villagers when his sarong came undone in mid flight.
According to a Harian Metro report, villagers rushed to the scene after hearing the victim scream for help.
The suspect had snatched the victim’s bag, containing RM200 in case and a mobile phone, as she was riding on a motorcycle around 8.30am yesterday.
