The 38-year-old doctor was arrested last Thursday (April 23) after his second identity was exposed. The offender is a man who lived in a condominium in Gurney Drive, as reported in The Star.

It was learned that the offender has been a part-time burglar at night since 2014 and that he had broken into 22 units in the block. His strategy was to check if his neighbors' doors were unlocked in midnight hours. If it's unlocked, he would commit burglary by entering the house and stealing all valuables in the living room.

“He stole valuables estimated to be worth RM493,615 since 2014,” said George Town OCPD Asst Comm Soffian Santong yesterday (April 28) in the report.

The police have found 67 mobile phones, 26 laptops, 7 television sets, 8 Malaysian ICs, 3 Japanese passports, 1 Malaysian passport, along with other things in his house.

“We estimated the seizure to be worth RM160,000. The suspect has no previous record. He is remanded until Friday,” ACP Soffian said in a statement.

It was reported that this case will be investigated under Section 457 of the Penal Code for burglary.
