KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - A businessman did not realise his four-wheel drive Mercedes and Porsche Cayenne valued at RM1.2 million (S$490,000) were missing until he woke up in the morning.

It is believed the theft had occurred at about 3.30am yesterday, when security guards noticed three people in a Honda driving into the Jalan Bukit Desa housing estate in Brickfields.

The security guards, suspecting something amiss when the car went around the neighbourhood at least five times, alerted their security company control centre which informed the police.

The police found no suspicious people upon checking the area.

The businessman, who lives with four others in the double-storey house, found the cars missing from the porch with the front gate wide open and called the police.

Initial investigations revealed that the thieves had broken into the house and found the keys to both cars before driving them away.

Brickfields OCPD Asst Comm Wan Abdul Bari Wan Abdul Khalid confirmed the incident, adding that no arrests had yet been made and that the house was not equipped with an alarm or closed-circuit television camera (CCTV).
