He's only 11 but this boy skilfully picks car locks using a paper clip before stealing valuables kept inside, reported Harian Metro.
He was caught by a security guard, who handed him over to the authorities at 3pm on Wednesday.
According to a source, the guard was suspicious after seeing the boy loitering at an apartment in Jinjang and brought him to the security post to question him.
“While he was interviewing the boy, a man in his 20s reported that an electric cable which he left in his van was missing,” he said.
The boy then confessed that he stole the cable and hid it in some bushes at the back of the apartment.
The boy was brought to the Jinjang police station, where the man he stole from lodged a report on the incident.
Kuala Lumpur Deputy CID chief ACP Khairi Ahrasa said police had given the boy a stern warning.
