“It’s desperate times. Be alert and vigilant. Do not ignore if you hear a dog barking. Even if it’s not our dog, we must check because dogs recognise strangers.”

According to the timestamp on the video, the incident occurred around 3.42pm on 10 December
Netizens claim that the theft took place in SS4, Kelana Jaya.
In the 46-second clip, one man can be seen trying to push open the house gates in order to allow his accomplice to escape with the stolen car.
While doing so, residents in the house attempted to chase the perpetrator but they were blocked by the car at the gate.Â
The suspect quickly got into another car that was waiting outside of the home and fled.
