ROMPIN: Few hours after celebrating Pahang's success in securing the Malaysia Cup, a family was robbed by four foreigners at their home in Felda Keratong 3 near here today.
In the 4.15am incident, a couple, their 12 children and two relatives were fast asleep when the robbers, believed to be Indonesians, broke into their home.
Mohd Helmi Ismail, 36, said most of his family members did not know about the robbery as they were exhausted after cheering for Pahang team when watching the live telecast at their home on Sunday night.
"I was rudely awakened by one of the robbers who threatened me with a parang. He asked me and my wife not to make noise before tying our hands with the handphone charger cables," he said when met at his home today.
Helmi said the robbers later ransacked his room before taking with them three handphones and RM300 cash.
His sister-in-law Norziana Zainadin, 26, said the robbers had also entered her room before covering her with a blanket.
"Before I could do anything, they had bound me with a rope and asked me to remain silent," said Norziana who was alone in the room as her husband was working at that time.
After the robbers left, Norziana said she managed to let herself loose and screamed for help.
"Those who were still sleeping were shocked when they saw me panicking. They later helped untie Helmi and wife in their room," said Norziana who is still traumatised by the incident.
She said the robbers fled with her RM2,500 cash, jewellery and four handphones.
District police chief Deputy Superintendent Ahmad Johari Jahaya confirmed the case and said that police were now looking for the robbers.
