KUALA LUMPUR: A minister's house was broken into by four men in Bukit Damansara, here, yesterday.
In the 5pm incident, the suspects were believed to have entered the house by climbing up the side fence.
City Criminal Investigation Department chief Datuk Ku Chin Wah said the suspects gained access to the premise through the front door which was unlocked.
"At the time of the incident, the minister's maid was in the kitchen and the rest of the family was out.
"She went out to start cleaning the hall. That was when she noticed the front door was open and caught a glimpse of an unknown man," he said.
Ku added that investigations revealed that one of the thieves had rummaged through the master bedroom.
"The maid saw everything but couldn't do much due to fear for her life. The ordeal lasted for less than 10 minutes.
"The suspects made off with several branded watches and laptops. The total losses have yet to be ascertained," he said.
