Security Alert - Break-Ins at Doritis 1

From Doritis Zone 1 Website.

There were 3 house break-in in Doritis Zone 1 on 21 October 2008. The incidents occurred in Jalan 31/155 and 31/161. The three houses were all unoccupied when it was broken into.

The thief entered the house through the ceiling after removing the roof tiles. All three houses were not installed with alarm. The security guards surrounded the two adjoining houses in Jalan 31/161 at 9pm after being alerted of the break-in and thereafter waited with members of the residents committee for armed police to arrive and check if the thief was still holed up in the adjoining vacant house. Unfortunately after a thorough search of both houses , the guards and the police did not find the thief who may have escaped via the slope to persiaran anggerik mokara.

It would appear that the thief are targeting houses where the owners are away for long period. The security guards have been instructed to prevent construction workers from taking short cuts through our residential roads as a precautionary measure. Residents are advised instal house alarm where possible and to be more vigilant especially on houses which appears to be vacant. Please inform the securtity guard immediately on any suspicious characters seen loitering in our residential area.

In view of the recent break-in, we are looking into the construction of a permanent perimeter fencing fronting persiaran anggerik mokara from 31/155 to 31/165 as this limit the access of non residents into Doritis Zone 1. We hope that all residents would support this effort. Your road reps would seek your feedback shortly.
