Police have recorded 10 witness statements and recovered four urns in the investigation into the theft of 30 cremation urns from a Nilai memorial park.
SEREMBAN: Police have recorded statements from 10 witnesses in the investigation into the theft of 30 cremation urns from a memorial park in Nilai.
Nilai police chief Supt Johari Yahya said four of the urns have been recovered to date. He stated that full verification and a complete inventory check are still being carried out by the memorial park management.
“The investigation is ongoing, and police are systematically recording witness statements, including from the memorial park staff,” he said in a statement. He added that authorities are examining all relevant angles of the case.
One aspect under scrutiny is the potential involvement of insiders. Supt Johari noted the investigation is still at an early stage and nothing has been confirmed.
Authorities are also analysing whether the incident is linked to a previous theft of urns in Kulai. Police are seeking technical assistance and conducting further analyses, including reviewing communications and related transactions.
The case is being investigated under Sections 380, 384, and 297 of the Penal Code.
