Security Incidence Report
Fellow residents, courtesy of our security service and also fellow residents, the following is the latest security bulletin updates for the past 2 month i.e. January & February.
Date : 22nd January 2008
Location : SS4C/22
Time : 3 AM
Failed car theft attempt! Barking dogs awoke a neighbour who saw some men fiddling with a car parked outside the neighbour's house. Police & guards were promptly called. 3 Chinese men were seen speeding off in a Datsun. The car was found to be tampered with but not broken into. Thankfully this incident was averted.
Date : 23nd January 2008
Location : SS4D/12
Time : Afternoon
An unoccupied house was found broken into by part-time cleaner maid. Owners are working abroad. House occupant recently deceased. Again, they seem to know who's around & who's not.
Who's leaking the info?
Are the maids talking to each other?
Date : 29th January 2008
Location : SS4C/15
Time : 6.20 AM
A dark Volvo, No. Plate: 244, with single dark-skinned driver seen observing houses from darkness. Another man got into the car from nearby when they realised they were seen, and drove off. No actual incident.
Date : 14th February 2008
Location : SS4C/15
Time : 1.30 PM
The house owner noticed, via the CCTV, that a Malay & an Indian man had jumped over gate into house. They stole the wheels from his Mercedes parked in the house & hopped back over the gate. The guards were called. The guards caught the thieves nearby & detained them until police arrived. Excellent vigilance & appropriate action was taken by house owner. Thus the crime event was concluded with the capture of the thieves.
Date : 25th February 2008
Location : SS4C/22
Time : 4.15 AM
The dogs' barking woke the neighbour who triggered his alarm manually upon hearing suspicious sounds from his neighbour's house. A car heard speeding off. Both the guards & police were called. However the guards responded slow, but alarmingly the police never showed up at all - what's wrong with them!. Nevertheless, a probable car theft was averted.
In Conclusion
So, fellow residents, please do take care when you spot unknown people(s) loitering about or even making rounds around your section of our Taman. We strongly urge that you immediately call the Police and inform them about your suspicions and/or if you're a Security Subscriber please call the Security Hotline to get our guards to check out these characters.
Overall it would seems that break-ins have reduced in number while snatch thefts are unheard of for a while now. Unfortunately we are seeing a spat of attempted car thefts in and around theSS4C/22 - SS4C/15 areas especialy those with dark areas around the field.
Below are a few notes & lessons from these incidents :
- Park your cars inside, if possible.
- Be proactive: Call the guards to investigate anything suspicious.
- Don't take dog barkings and/or any suspicious sounds lightly as this could very well be a possible crime in progress.
- Install alarm as deterrent. If possible CCTVs are an even better deterrent.
- Warn your maids not to divulge information to other maids they keep contact with.
- Most house break-ins happens in the afternoon period.
- Most car thefts occur in the early hours of the morning.
- Also there have been cases of cons trying to charge for dengue fogging. Adviced not to pay as it's a free service from MBPJ.
A Reminder
If anyone comes across any crime or suspicious incidences, firstly do not hesitate to call the security guards (for subscribers only) or the police directly. It's best to err on the side of caution than to risk being a crime statistic due to our own complacency.
Secondly, we would appreciate it a lot if you could inform Mr. Michael about your experience(s) so that we can then send it out to everyone via this website. That way we can watch out for the same things, and be aware of what's going on.
So everyone, eyes & ears open, and do tell us about it.
