Duo nabbed after string of surau break-ins in Kuala Pilah
KUALA PILAH: Two men, aged 19 and 20, have been arrested for allegedly stealing money from donation boxes at several suraus and mosques across the state, particularly in the Kuala Pilah district. The suspects were apprehended on Wednesday following a series of break-ins, which reportedly occurred around midnight on Tuesday. They are believed to have targeted five mosques to cover house rent and vehicle maintenance. Kuala Pilah district police chief, Superintendent Muhamad Mustafah Hussin, said donation boxes at Masjid Sungai Dua Kecil, Masjid Kuala Sungai Dua, Masjid Kariah Kampung Parit, Masjid Nur Salbiah, and Masjid Kariah Sungai Dua Besar had been tampered with. Acting on information and intelligence, the Kuala Pilah district police headquarters carried out separate raids and successfully apprehended the suspects on Wednesday. "Closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage helped identify the suspects. They claimed the stolen money was used to service their car and pay rent," he said today. Mustafah said police also seized a Perodua Kancil, two metal donation boxes, RM120 in cash, and tools believed to have been used during the thefts. "Both suspects confessed to all five break-ins in Kuala Pilah and admitted to involvement in several other similar cases," he said. The suspects have been remanded for two days beginning Thursday and are being investigated under Section 379 of the Penal Code, which provides for imprisonment of up to seven years, a fine, or both, upon conviction.
