KUALA LUMPUR: A personal assistant was arrested in Gombak on Wednesday, on suspicion of theft at an actress’s home in Taman Cempaka, Ampang, after RM30,000 in jewellery was reported missing.
Ampang Jaya deputy police chief Nazruel Ekram Abu Saare, said the female suspect has been detained in remand.
He said the complainant discovered that her gold necklace was missing on June 26, while at home.
“She questioned her personal assistant, but the woman denied taking the necklace. On further inspection, two gold bracelets and a gold necklace belonging to her child were also missing from her handbag.
“The complainant suspected her assistant of stealing the items, especially since she had also lost RM10,000 in cash back in March,” he said in a statement today.
He added that the suspect, whose age was not disclosed, has a criminal record.
