Nurse Loses RM1,000 To Snatch Thieves


KUCHING: A nurse was made RM1,000 poorer after falling victim to snatch thieves minutes after withdrawing the cash from an automated teller machine on Tuesday night.

The 28-year-old withdrew the money which was meant to pay her monthly car instalment from an ATM machine in Padungan around 11pm before making her way to the Petanak Market to buy vegetables.

Two men on a motorcycle, who were believed to have been trailing her when she was withdrawing the cash, grabbed her handbag from behind as she was walking along the road and sped off.

The incident happened so fast that the victim was unable to get a description of the machine or its licence plate number.

A police report has been lodged.
