KUCHING: A hospital clerk lodged a police report that she was allegedly robbed and molested by four helmeted men at the Tun Abdul Rahman Yakub bridge in Satok late Wednesday night.

The woman, in her 20s, was said to have left her workplace at the end of her shift around 11pm and stopped to refuel at a petrol station along Jalan Tun Ahmad Zaidi Adruce.

Leaving the station to head home in Batu Kawah, she claimed to have noticed a Proton Saga car trailing her, and decided to detour to Satok as a precaution to see if the vehicle was really following her.

The victim’s husband, who related her ordeal to reporters when met at the police station, said upon reaching the bridge, the Proton Saga overtook his wife and blocked her way before four men wearing full-face motorcycle helmets emerged and rushed to her car from both sides.

Based on what his wife told him, the men opened her car door and began manhandling her before removing about RM100 from her wallet.

Apparently not satisfied with the amount, one of the men began fondling her breast before pulling at her shirt and kissing her above her right breast, resulting in a “love bite” mark.

During the alleged incident, the clerk told her husband that she signalled to a passing car for help, but the driver sped off after slowing down to figure out what was going on.

At that point, she claimed the men tried to force her into the backseat of her car, but stopped abruptly on seeing her husband’s Rela vest on the seat and mistaking it for a police vest.

The group then sped off from the scene while she made her way back home and related the alleged ordeal to her husband, who immediately brought her to the Simpang Tiga police station to lodge a report.

The clerk, however, declined for the case to be investigated by police and made her report as a reference only, should a similar incident occur in the future, in addition to declining to go to hospital for a medical check-up.
