PETALING JAYA: A woman lost RM117,630 to a snatch thief who stole the money while she was having a meal last Friday at a restaurant in Taman Equine, Seri Kembangan here.
In a video posted by the restaurant on Facebook, the victim is seen having a meal by herself when the snatch thief approaches her from behind on the road next to the eatery.
He then snatches a red bag placed on the chair next to her and quickly gets into a car which speeds away, before the victim and those around her can react.
It is learnt that some of the money was hers and the rest were loans from family members.
A report has been lodged at the Seri Kembangan police station.
Serdang OCPD ACP Megat Mohamad Aminuddin Megat Alias confirmed the incident when contacted Thursday.
He said two Indonesian men have been remanded to assist investigations.
"We believe that there are more suspects and we are in the midst of tracking them down," he said.
