Afraid of husband, woman lodges false report over 'stolen' jewellery
BESUT: A housewife filed a false police report claiming her jewellery was snatched, out of fear of being scolded by her husband. Besut police chief Superintendent Azamuddin Ahmad @ Abu said the woman, in her 30s, lodged the report about 3.39pm yesterday. He said the district police's Criminal Investigation Division received a report of a robbery involving two motorcycle-riding suspects armed with a knife. In her report, the woman claimed the incident occurred in a secluded area of Kampung Hutan Nangka, Jertih. "She alleged the suspects stopped her, threatened her with a knife, and fled with her jewellery," he said, adding that the loss was estimated at RM7,000 and no injuries were reported. However, investigations found that no such robbery took place. "She later admitted to lending the jewellery to a friend who could no longer be contacted. Fearing her husband's reaction, she made up the story," he said. Azamuddin said the woman was not arrested, as the offence under Section 182 of the Penal Code is non-arrestable and requires an Order to Investigate (OTI). The case is being probed under Section 182 for providing false information with intent to cause a public servant to misuse lawful authority—a charge that carries up to six months' jail, a fine of up to RM2,000, or both. He reminded the public not to lodge false reports or spread misinformation, as legal action could be taken.
