Man held for trespassing into home during car repossession
SUNGAI PETANI: A repossession agent was arrested after allegedly trespassing into a home in Aman Jaya to seize a vehicle.
Kuala Muda police chief Assistant Commissioner Hanyan Ramlan said the 24-year-old suspect was detained by the roadside in Jalan Jati at 10.30pm on Friday.
Police said the man was arrested to assist investigations for house trespass.
"Investigations revealed that the complainant, a 38-year-old man, found the padlock on his front gate had been opened when he returned home at 7pm on Saturday," Hanyan said in a statement.
The complainant later discovered that his Perodua Alza had been repossessed by the bank and suspected that the agent had entered his property without permission.
"Unhappy that his locked gate had been opened without his knowledge, he lodged a police report," he said.
Hanyan said the suspect admitted to entering the complainant's house and towing the car on May 29.
However, the complainant only realised his car was missing on June 14, roughly two weeks later, when he returned home.
"The suspect claimed the repossession was due to eight months of missed installments by the vehicle owner," Hanyan said.
