Six luxury Louis Vuitton (LV) handbags belonging to the wife of Teruntum assemblyperson Chang Hong Seong were among the valuable items burgled from their house in Lorong Seri Kuantan yesterday.

Chang said the burglary took place when he and his family were in Kuala Lumpur to send off his eldest son to Italy under a student exchange programme.

“The family went to Kuala Lumpur on Thursday afternoon and we came back here yesterday at about 6pm.

“When I opened the front door, I was shocked to find my house ransacked,” he told reporters at his house today.

Chang said that after he had inspected all the rooms, he found that his wife’s LV bags were missing, along with three laptops, jewellery including his wedding ring, a collection of branded watches, and cash, all amounting to RM60,000.

He said police investigation revealed that the suspects had entered through the back door by breaking the padlock and cutting the iron grille in the kitchen.

Kuantan CID chief DSP Kamaruzzaman Jaafar confirmed a police report had been made on the burglary.
