He said the woman lodged the report after she was informed by her 10-year-old daughter that a woman came to their house and told her (daughter) to buy a mobile reload card at a shop nearby.
However, when the victim’s daughter returned, the woman (suspect) had already left the house.
Nasri said the victim later found some RM5,000 cash, identification documents and other items missing from the drawer of her closet.
Based on information given by the victim's daughter, a police team went to her house at Sahabat 3 and detained two men inside a Perodua Viva in front of the house, he said.
