Spotted: Toyol in Kuala Lumpur

Hundreds of citizens in Taman Pinggiran USJ1, Kuala Lumpur were shocked to learn that a curly-haired ‘toyol’ had the ability to climb walls before breaking into private residences via rooftop and run away with the money robbed from the houses during prayers time.

The suspect clad in short pants wasn’t afraid to break-in to a house even when the residents are home.
Taman Pinggiran USJ1 neighbourhood association chief Badleesham Zainal Abdin said the suspect’s deed were exposed when one of the residents managed to capture his crime via surveillance security cameras (CCTV) installed behind the house.

According to the source, the Indonesian suspect has been breaking into houses numerous times targeting four residences located along Jalan 1/6 and 1/7 between 7.10 pm to 8 pm yesterday. The video surveillance camera revealed that the suspect was climbing a two-storey terrace house from the back before crawling to the rooftop.

The suspect then removed part of the pantile roofs to slip into the house. He added that the suspect would usually jump from the ceiling before entering one of the rooms. Initial investigations revealed that he spent around five minutes per unit before moving on to the next target.

Police suspected that he climbed out of the house due to lack of valuable items such as cash or jewelries. He then moved to the next property and break into the house 15 minutes later. Suspect managed to grab RM100 from the first two burglaries before applying the same tactic on other houses.

Surprisingly, the suspect did not use ropes or other items to help him climb up and down the walls. Instead, he stepped on the pumps in the toilet to get out of the property. Even though his actions were captured on film, CCTV failed to get his clear picture. Realizing the existence of CCTV, the suspect covered his face with hands.

The only clues left behind are his physical appearance with curly hair; clad in short pants and black and white slippers. Based on the evidence from CCTV and co-operation from residents, authorities have arrested a foreigner to assist in the investigation.
