Thief uses friends Mercedes to steal shoes from mosque

If poverty-stricken or beggars are caught red-handed while stealing, then poverty considered to be the biggest motive behind the spread of this problem.

But what if an information technology (IT) employed does it in broad light. And that too, in style!

To accomplish his mission, he borrowed a friend’s Mercedes Benz car, saying he was in need of the vehicle for two hours to get a ‘job’ done.

Last Saturday, he steals shoes at the Wilayah Mosque in Jalan Tunku Abdul Halim.

According to Sentul police Chief ACP R. Munusamy, security guards caught the 38-year-old suspect red-handed stealing shoes at the mosque at 11.25am.

“On inspecting the borrowed Mercedez Benz’s bonnet, as many as 13 pairs of shoes, believed stolen from an area where shoes were placed in the mosque, were found,” he told the media.
