KUALA LUMPUR:
The police are tracking down five men suspected of impersonating police officers who broke into a house in Semenyih last Sunday and fled with about RM9,000 worth of loot.

Kajang district police chief Naazron Abdul Yusof said the break-in occurred at about 5am at a house belonging to a 55-year-old retiree.

He said that based on CCTV footage, the suspects had worn face masks with two of them wearing police vests as well.

“The suspects broke through the front door of the house before entering the house and making off with several pieces of jewellery, two mobile phones, and cash of about RM500, involving a total loss of about RM9,000,” he said in a statement here today.

The case is being investigated under Sections 395 and 170 of the Penal Code for gang robbery and impersonating public servants.
