Police investigate security camera recordings from businesses and residences surrounding the Bukit Ledang home where burglars stole jewelry worth RM1.8 million from former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's grandson. Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad explained that the residence's surveillance system proved inadequate for the investigation. The outdated equipment from the 1990s automatically deletes recordings after one day. Investigators discovered the break-in happened more than 24 hours before the victim filed the complaint. The footage had already disappeared when officers arrived at the scene.
Authorities have interviewed three witnesses about the Wednesday afternoon burglary at the seldom-used family property. The grandson, a security guard, and the household maid provided statements to detectives. Officers continue analyzing physical evidence such as fingerprints from the crime scene. The domestic worker found the damaged rear gate and ransacked bedroom around 3pm. Police expect the forensic examination process will require additional time before completion.
