クアラルンプール：昨日（8/30）早朝、バングサのジャラン・メダン・スライで少なくとも１３台の住人の車が車上あらしの被害にあった。目撃した人によると、朝５時ごろ、オートバイ４台のグループが次々と車の窓を割り、金目のものを奪っていったという。被害にあった住人のひとりでこの地域に２０年近く住む、テディン・ンさん（５１）は愛車のBMWとRenault SUVの２台が被害にあい、車内の灰皿に入れておいた小銭を奪われたという。テディンさんは先月も同様の被害を受けたばかりでその時はBMWからラジオを持っていかれたという。今回はその修理が終わる前にまた被害にあってしまった。警察は先月もこれと同様の事件がジャラン・テラセックで起きており、今回の事件と同一グループによる犯行の可能性があるとみて関連性を調べている。

Bikers on smashing rampage

KUALA LUMPUR: At least 13 cars were broken into , their windows and windshields smashed , along Jalan Medang Serai in Bangsar, leaving residents both angry and baffled.
Residents who witnessed the incident at 5am yesterday said young men on at least four motorcycles took their time smashing the windows before taking anything of value inside.
They also claimed the youths were the same ones who often raced illegally along the Sprint Highway that runs parallel to their road.
Tedin Ng,51, a resident for more than 20 years,found the windows of his BMW and Renault SUV smashed and the coins in the ashtray compartment missing.
"This happened to me last month as well, when they took the radio in my BMW,. Even before I had time to fix that, they struck again," he said., adding that the culprits seemed to be sending some kind of message to the residents there.
'Almost all the cars had both the front and passenger windows smashed. If they were merely out to get valuables in the car, there is no reason for them to smash both windows," a puzzled Ng said.
Another resident , who declined to be named ,said he saw what happened and called the police immediately.
"They started at one end of the road and smashed cars all the way to the other end . They would wait awhile before going on to the next one. They were not afraid and did not run away," she said.
"The police came a little too late as the youths had gone by then," she said, claiming that the police also did not bother to ask any of the residents what had happened or who had called.
Brickfields OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Dzuraidi Ibrahim, who confirmed the incident, said only six people had come forward to make reports, so far, even though 13 cars were smashed.
"According to the reports, the suspects were young men who were riding four Yamaha RX-Z motorcycles," he said, adding that police would increase patrols in the area.
"We believe there were around eight men in all."
ACP Mohd Dzuraidi said a similar incident happened in the Jalan Terasek area about a month ago.
"In that incident , the men were also on motorcycles, but we still don't know if this is the same group or a different one."
