Three men have abducted a woman in her 20s from a three-storey house in Taman Desa Setapak, Wangsa Maju on Wednesday night.

The woman had visited the house where her friends stayed after she was transferred by the bank which she worked for from Kuala Lumpur to Wangsa Maju a few months ago.

After the woman’s boyfriend had dropped her off at the house, she was preparing breakfast with three other friends. The men forced their way in, armed with knives. They tied the three friends up and molested two of them. They robbed them of two laptops, four mobile phones and RM280 cash. The woman was then forced into their car.

The three friends were freed by the woman’s boyfriend who returned to the house later. They have lodged a police report.

A senior police officer from the Bukit Aman police headquarters is being investigated by the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) for illegally having assets worth about RM27 million.

It is believed that the superintendent suspect was involved in five money laundering cases in Johor, abuse of power, and owns several houses and hectares of land in the Klang Valley.

The officer was charged with graft a few years ago but was let off as there was a lack of evidence.
