KOTA KINABALU: A gang of tech savvy car thieves have been busted following a series of thefts amounting to about RM1mil around the city over the past few weeks. “These suspects use a computerised system to hack into a vehicle's lock system to disable its lock and alarm to steal a car,” he said at a press conference here Monday (May 27). He said their arrest came following a report on May 16 where a woman reported that her car was missing from the Likas Women and Children’s Hospital parking lot. “The victim posted a picture of her missing car on social media while we tracked down the suspect,” he said. Also seized were the car lock and alarm hacking machine, smart keys, and other tools used to break into cars.
