Two burglars entered a double-storey terrace house via the kitchen window at around 5am yesterday. A father and 15-year-old daughter were awakened by sounds made by the burglars who were armed with a knife and kitchen chopper.

When the father came down to confront the men, they demanded cash from him. The father was tied up when he said he had none. The men went up and took his daughter downstairs where one of them allegedly molested and assaulted her. The burglars ran off with RM100 and a mobile phone.

The girl has been admitted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital for serious trauma. A police report has been made.
