A three-year-old girl had her gold necklace stolen at a food festival in Nilai last night, resulting in a reported loss of RM2,900, according to Nilai district police chief Superintendent Johari Yahya. The incident occurred around 9:30pm when the young girl informed her mother that her necklace had disappeared. Johari stated that the 29-year-old woman had taken her two children to the festival earlier that evening.
While walking through the crowd, the three-year-old girl suddenly expressed concern that her necklace had been pulled off her neck. Upon checking, the mother discovered that the gold chain was indeed missing. Johari informed Berita Harian that the woman inquired of her daughter if she recognized the suspect, but the child only mentioned that it was a man.
The victim's limited ability to provide further details due to her young age was noted by Johari. The case is currently under investigation under Section 392 of the Penal Code.
