3 S'pore cars allegedly broken into in Desaru, M'sia, including a Tribecar vehicle
The thieves could have targeted bags left in the cars.
Three Singapore-registered vehicles were allegedly broken into at the Adventure Waterpark Desaru Coast in Malaysia, according to a man who shared photos online. Syafiq Maselan posted on Facebook about the incident on September 6 at 4:23pm, stating that he was "incredibly lucky" that his car was not affected, especially as there were children's devices in the back seat.
The alleged break-ins occurred in broad daylight. Two cars had their rear passenger seat windows broken, while the rear windscreen of one car was shattered, potentially indicating a Tribecar vehicle due to its livery. Syafiq wrote that the thieves might have targeted bags left in the cars, and commenters suggested that leaving personal belongings in locked vehicles overseas could be risky.
The Mercedes owner informed Syafiq that they made a police report. Tribecar confirmed to Mothership that one of their vehicles was involved in the incident, expressing relief that the hirer and family were unharmed. The company stated that customers should not arrange repairs themselves without prior approval and that they had given the hirer permission to replace the damaged window and window tint in Malaysia at their own expense, without additional fees.
Tribecar added that insurance may cover significant damage, subject to policy terms and applicable excess/deductible.
