Woman with ‘son’ robs college girl of cellphoneKUCHING: Most people have read about or heard of robberies committed in the city at knife-point.
A typical story would usually go along the line of “…was robbed by an unidentified man armed with a knife at…”
Yesterday, however, one of those rarest of happenings occurred on Monday night at MJC, Batu Kawa.
A 19-year-old college girl was robbed of her handphone at knife-point by a woman who was accompanied by a little boy.
According to the victim, she was walking to a nearby shop at MJC with two friends for dinner around 8pm when she suddenly felt a sharp object being pointed at her back.
As she slowly turned her head, she saw a woman, whom she described as in her 30s, pointing a kitchen knife at her.
What was even more shocking, said the victim, was the woman was holding onto the hand of a small boy, presumably the woman’s son, who “looked no more than 10 years old”.
Too frightened to move, she stood still as the woman rummaged through her pockets and grabbed her Motorola handset before escaping on foot with the child.
The victim’s two friends, who had been walking slightly in front of her, could also do nothing but watch the whole incident in fear.
The victim, from Kampung Rampangi in Bau, later lodged a police report at the Simpang Tiga police station at midnight accompanied by her mother and brother.
Speaking to reporters, the mother said that her daughter was a tailoring student at an institute located in MJC.
She and her friends were staying at a hostel near the institute.
“This is the first time I have ever heard of such an incident where a mother brings her child along while committing a crime,” said the mother incredulously.
“I fear for my daughter’s safety and I would rather her move back to Bau and make the long commute to attend her classes.”
Still looking visibly shaken by the incident, the victim estimated her loss at RM500.
