Prostitutes engineered robbery

Two engineers who sought the services of prostitutes got more than what they bargained for when they lost their handphones and cash at Kampung Air here.

Each of them paid RM70 to the prostitutes for “services” on Tuesday evening.

As they went about their “business”, one of the women's accomplices used a secret door leading to both rooms to sneak in and search the men's trouser pockets.

Shortly after that, a man knocked on the door of both rooms, saying that the police were about to raid the place.

The men realised they were theft victims after hastily putting on their trousers.

Deputy city police chief Supt M. Chandra said the men lodged a police report at the city police headquarters.

Police managed to detain five people, including two women aged 19 and 21 who were believed to be the prostitutes - The Star
