KUCHING: A teacher lodged a police report Wednesday after he was allegedly robbed of his valuables by a man ‘dressed like a religious teacher’.

The incident is said to have taken place around 6.45am when the victim was approached by the suspect in front of his rented house in Taman Matang Jaya just as he was about to leave for work.

A source indicated that the suspect asked the victim’s help to send him back to Kampung Semariang, and that the latter agreed as he was taken in by the man’s religious appearance.

Along the way, the suspect offered to take over as the rider of the motorcycle due to the ‘confusing’ path leading to his house.

The victim agreed and switched places with the suspect, who instead brought the victim to a cemetery at Jalan Sultan Tengah and whipped out a sharp weapon from the bag he was carrying.

He then forced the victim to hand over his laptop, mobile phone, personal documents and cash, and then dropped off the victim at Bandar Baru Semariang before riding off with the motorcycle.

Police are investigating the report.
