Thief flees with cat lover's 5 imported felines

ALOR STAR: A fertigation entrepreneur at Simpang Empat here was left grieving after a thief stole five of his beloved cats yesterday morning.
It cost Mohd Hisham Mat Isa RM5,000 to import the felines – four Persians and one Maine Coon.
He said he became aware of the incident at 6.30am after noticing a hole in the steel cage where he kept his 14 cats.
"I checked the closed-circuit television camera (CCTV) footage, the culprit was a man probably in his 20s. He entered the premises from the front before making a cut in the cage and fleeing with my five cats," he told Bernama here today.
Mohd Hisham, 42, said he lodged a police report at the Simpang Empat police station at 11.30am the same day and would hand over the CCTV recording soon to assist police in the investigation.
He said his premises, located at the roadside, often became the target of criminals. Earlier this year, thieves stole 38 fig trees that he had planted. — Bernama
