KUCHING: A house owner was left terrified after three masked men knocked down her house gate and entered the house on Monday evening.
The female house owner, who wanted to remain anonymous, said she was in her house alone at about 7pm in Tabuan Jaya when she heard a loud sound. She then saw a black Proton Wira car coming straight into her house.
Fearing for her safety, she went to the kitchen and locked herself in there while shouting for help.
One of the robbers pointed a sharp object at her while the others went on to ransack her house. She added that one of the intruders was also carrying a parang (machete).
She waited in the kitchen until the robbers left. She only came out when her neighbours came to her aid. They then called the police.
The house owner said she lost about RM20,000 worth of valuables.
