SUNGAI PETANI: A repossession agent was arrested after allegedly trespassing into a home in Aman Jaya to seize a vehicle.

Kuala Muda police chief Assistant Commissioner Hanyan Ramlan said the 24-year-old suspect was detained by the roadside in Jalan Jati at 10.30pm on Friday.

Police said the man was arrested to assist investigations for house trespass.

"Investigations revealed that the complainant, a 38-year-old man, found the padlock on his front gate had been opened when he returned home at 7pm on Saturday," Hanyan said in a statement.


The complainant later discovered that his Perodua Alza had been repossessed by the bank and suspected that the agent had entered his property without permission.


"Unhappy that his locked gate had been opened without his knowledge, he lodged a police report," he said.

Hanyan said the suspect admitted to entering the complainant's house and towing the car on May 29.

However, the complainant only realised his car was missing on June 14, roughly two weeks later, when he returned home.

"The suspect claimed the repossession was due to eight months of missed installments by the vehicle owner," Hanyan said.


Life hack, as long as park car inside home with gates locked, no one can enter to repo car.

not really. if no permission, cannot enter private property.

even with court order also need to have polisman to open the locked gate for you

its house breaking with or without lock?

now gated and guarded housing estate each house don't have gate one wor. then how?

civil suit cost money. if got money to hire lawyer to initiate lawsuit (minimum 10K), why don't have money to pay for car? in this case an Alza.

now the best loophole is to only drive the car from point A to point B. make sure not to park the car in public car park.

Only park in own house with gate locked. Or park in multistory carpark which tow trucks hard to enter.

now many meters change to smart meter liao. Can control remotely.

even meter reading all already send wirelessly to the servers.

that is not very nice

my guess is able to cut remotely, if using smart meter

if got court order still can enter house.

and there is provisions in law which allows polis to enter without a court order. Drugs act, dangerous weapons act, MACC act, etc.

maybe is forgot to pay leh. give people chance la

so true.

even if tenant don't pay rent, owner still cannot enter own property without tenant's permission.
