A man clad in a telekung (prayer robe) was caught on CCTV footage stealing a woman’s iPhone X while she was performing Subuh prayers at a mosque in Seksyen 18, Shah Alam.
Disguised himself with telekung
In a series of tweets posted by Azfar (@azfrrr) on Dec 20, he showed several pictures of a man believed to have stolen his mother’s iPhone X wearing a telekung.
He wrote: “(I) need help from people who lives in Shah Alam and knows about this man who wore a telekung to steal my mother’s iPhone X during Subuh prayers.”
He added that he’s willing to give a reward to those who’re willing to help track the man down.
Azfar then posted CCTV footage of the incident, which documented what actually happened.
In the clip, the man is seen sneaking into the women’s prayer room and proceeded to wear a telekung provided there.
He then sees a group of women performing their Subuh prayers, where he laid eyes on Azfar’s mother.
After looking around to make sure that no one else was there, the man quickly grabbed her handbag and fled the scene while the women were in a state of prostration.

Before you perform your prayers, make sure that your belongings are close with you and be on the lookout for suspicious people!
