THE college students, who stole a life-sized Homer Simpson figurine from a cineplex in One Utama last month, were issued a warning letter by the deputy public prosecutor.
Petaling Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Mazlan Mansor said the two students, aged 22, would not be charged as the DPP has decided not to take further action.
“The DPP came to the decision as the figurine was safely returned.
“The case is now solved,” Mazlan said when contacted by The Malay Mail yesterday.
The Malay Mail had, on June 20, reported the theft of the life- sized model after it was found missing by the cineplex staff when they opened for business.
The figurine was initially placed next to other models of the Simpsons on a display couch for photo opportunities to promote The Simpsons Movie.
The cineplex management later lodged a police report.
According to security video recordings from the shopping mall’s CCTV, the students first scouted the area after 3am.
The students were then caught on video exiting the doors with Homer in their arms.
Following that, police, having reviewed the footage, tracked down the car used by the culprits to smuggle out the figurine from the shopping complex.
The car belonged to one of the student's father.
Two days later, the figurine was returned to the police after the two students, accompanied by their fathers, turned up at Kelana Jaya police station at 8.30pm.
