Mr Singh said the seizure included Birkin Hermes bags, cash in various currencies, watches and a "big amount'' of jewellery. Mr Najib's wife, Rosmah Mansor, is known in Malaysia for her love for Birkin bags, which luxury publications say cost from $12,000 to more than $200,000. Documents related to 1MDB were seized from the office and police are still trying to crack open a safe in Mr Najib's house, he said. Police spent 20 hours since late Wednesday searching Mr Najib's house, and his lawyer said items such as handbags and clothing were taken away. Several police cars arrived at Mr Najib's house Friday morning, fuelling speculation his arrest may be imminent.
