BAU – The Bau District Police Headquarters has successfully solved a series of house burglary cases in Singai, Bau, following the arrest of two local suspects.
The suspects, a 23-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman, were detained after investigations linked them to multiple incidents of burglary across Kampung Apar, Kampung Tanjung Poting, and Kampung Sudoh.
Police confirmed that the male suspect admitted to being involved in six separate cases between 16 April and 29 April 2026.
Further enquiries revealed that the female suspect, who is the fiancée of the male suspect, had assisted in several incidents by accompanying him to the crime scenes and helping retrieve stolen items.
Authorities recovered several items believed to have been stolen, including a Perodua Myvi vehicle, a television, a lawn mower, a chainsaw, and receipts related to the sale of aluminium and copper at local thrift stores.
Checks on the suspects’ backgrounds showed no prior criminal records. However, a urine screening test indicated that the male suspect was positive for drugs.
Both individuals have been remanded for four days, from 30 April to 4 May 2026, to assist with further investigations under Section 457 of the Penal Code.
Police confirmed that the case remains under investigation and will be referred to the Deputy Public Prosecutor’s Office for further action.
District Police Chief PISUPT Mohd Haide bin A. Rahman advised residents to strengthen home security measures, such as installing grills, additional locks, alarm systems, and safety lighting.
He also encouraged homeowners to inform neighbours or authorities when leaving their homes for extended periods.
The police stressed that they will not compromise with individuals involved in criminal activities and will continue to intensify efforts to combat crime in Bau.
Community members are urged to share information related to criminal activity with the Royal Malaysian Police to support prevention efforts.
