KUALA LUMPUR: Police are on the lookout for two young men suspected of being involved in a string of computer thefts amounting to more than RM1.2mil here and in Petaling Jaya.

The men, both aged 20, are believed to only target graphic design companies that use high performance desktop computers and laptops.

City CID deputy chief (Investigation and Legislation) Asst Comm Ab Aziz Zakaria said a graphic design company had lodged a police report over the theft of laptops and desktop computers worth RM200,000 at Wangsa Maju on June 18.

“We later found that two other graphic design companies in Puchong and Kelana Jaya were similarly robbed on Aug 6 and Sept 22,” he told a press conference at the City police headquarters yesterday.

He said both companies reported thefts of MacBook Pro and MacDesk Pro high-performance computers worth around RM1mil.

ACP Ab Aziz said police had retrieved and analysed CCTV footage from the three companies.
“We believe two men are behind the string of burglaries,” he said, adding that police are looking for Kiranan Surendran and Siva Kalaiselvan to facilitate investigations.

He said their last known addresses were 1-1-4, Jalan 10/42A, Taman Sejahtra, Segambut, and B-5-8, PPR Raya Permai, Jalan Landai Permai, Sungai Besi, respectively.

He urged those with information on the whereabouts of the two men to contact the police hotline at 03-2052 9999 or visit the nearest police station.
