Cops probe alleged theft, abuse of kitten in Sepang
The pet owner claimed that the kitten had been placed in a closed container for several hours, causing it to suffocate. PETALING JAYA : Police have launched an investigation into an alleged theft and abuse of a pet kitten, which resulted in the feline's death, in a residential area in Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi, Sepang. Sepang police chief Norhizam Bahaman said the cat's owner lodged a report after discovering that the kitten had been stolen and abused to death. 'A preliminary investigation suggests that the incident involved three children, aged between five and 11,' he said in a statement. He said an investigation paper had been opened under Section 379 of the Penal Code for theft and Section 428 of the same law for mischief by killing an animal. Norhizam urged the public not to take animal abuse lightly, saying such cruel acts not only reflected a lack of compassion but also constituted a violation of the law. The pet owner shared several videos of the incident after failing to locate her kitten named Jojo, including CCTV footage that allegedly showed the trio taking the kitten from outside her house compound. The owner claimed that the trio had taken the kitten and placed it in a closed container for several hours, causing it to suffocate.

Cat-astrophe avoided after woman finds kitten in car engine
Cat-astrophe avoided after purrfect find in car engine. Photo: Supplied/NZ Police A woman driving on Auckland's motorway found her engine purring much more usual. She was shopping at the Syliva Park mall last week, and quickly began hearing unusual noises on the drive home. But the sounds didn't stop there. "The woman entered the motorway and could hear 'meows' from under the bonnet," Auckland motorways manager Senior Sergeant Scott Cunningham said. The driver was able to pull up behind a police motorway patrol car. "Upon closer inspection, a kitten was found tucked under the bonnet," Senior Sergeant Cunningham said. The officer managed to put the small cat in his lunch bag to keep safe while he began making calls. Police said it wasn't long before the kitten found a new home with one of Auckland's emergency call takers.
