$1255 and handphone stolen from barber
By Rosdin Hj Abdul Aziz

A barber recently had his money amounting to $1255 and a mobile phone stolen during two separate incidents.

He said, "I just cannot believe my misfortune as this is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me since I've been in Brunei."

The man claimed that the first incident occurred when he had just finished his Friday prayers. He discovered that the drawer of his barber shop had been ransacked and that $680 as well as his mobile phone were missing.

The second incident occurred a few days later at his residence near his barber shop. 10,000 rupees (B$400) and $175 in Brunei currency were taken from his bag which was always locked. This occurred at around 10 pm after he had finished work.

The barber only realised that his belongings were missing when the place where he usually hangs his clothes had been moved and when he searched for his bag he found that his money had been stolen.
