Sex more valued than money
MIRI: Sex before money - that seemed to be on the minds of a group of armed robbers who struck at a housing estate.
Clad only in their underwear and face-masks, the five men broke into a house, tied up its four occupants, then searched the house for theIndonesian maid instead of the loot.
When they found the maid not to their “taste”, they beat her up and then robbed the entire family.
Miri police are now looking for the group of foreigners who escaped with more than RM10,000 in cash and belongings.
The incident happened on Monday at the Morsjaya commercial centre outside the city centre.
The victims, who lodged a report at the Miri Central Police Station, said the robbers broke into the house in the wee hours of the morning.
They were not wearing shirts or trousers, only underwear. They headed straight for the rooms after tying up four of the family members who were in the house, said one of the victims in his report.
“They were searching for the Indonesian maid who lives in the house. They found the maid, but after looking at her, they beat her up with the handle of the parang they were carrying,” said a police source.
i don't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for the maid and i cannot imagine how hysterical my laugh would be if i were to see half-naked robbers with face masks in my house.
