KUALA LUMPUR - A thief broke into a headmaster’s car and escaped with RM109,000 which was kept in the front passenger seat of his car, while he had gone to get himself a drink from a nearby restaurant.

The money which was financial aid to the school was earlier withdrawn from a bank by the headmaster and placed in a bag which was kept in the front passenger seat of his car while he went to a nearby shop to buy a drink in Semenyih.

According to Kajang police chief ACP Mohd Zaid Hassan, police received a report about the incident at 12.17 pm from the 50-year-old headmaster.

"Initial investigations revealed that the victim had withdrawn the money from a bank in Kampung Baru Semenyih at about 10am and placed the cash inside a bag. The bag was kept on the front passenger seat,” he said in a statement tonight.

When the victim returned to his car, he saw the windscreen on the rear passenger side (right) was broken and the bag containing the cash was stolen.
