City CID chief Datuk Ku Chin Wah in a short-messaging service (SMS) statement, said in the 4.15am incident, the victim, a 38-year-old man, was awoken from his sleep by noises coming from the living room of his house.

He said when the victim viewed the CCTV installed in his room, three men were in the process of rummaging through the living room before running off with his Mercedez Benz, Honda Accord and Toyota Avanza cars parked in the porch.

After being alerted by the victim, he said police posted an all points bulletin and hardly 45 minutes later a patrol car stumbled on two Toyota Alphard cars having the same number plates as the ones stolen at the victim's house.
