PETALING JAYA: Even the lifts in condominiums secured by guards may not be safe, two sisters have found.
A week ago, the sisters, aged 28 and 35, who had returned home from an outing, were confronted by a lone robber at Ridzuan Condominiums at PJS 10, opposite Sunway Pyramid.
Photographs taken from the condominium's security CCTV, made available to theSun by a member of the public, show the robber loitering in the corridor next to the elevator and following the sisters into a lift.
Moments later, the robber holds a knife to the neck of one of the sisters and demands that she hand over her handbag. The other sister goes to her aid and they put up a struggle with the robber.
The footage also shows the women, who are now down on the floor of the lift, holding on to their belongings as the robber pulls the handbag away violently. When the lift door opens, the robber escapes with the handbag, said to contain valuables and personal items worth more than RM1,000.

According to Petaling Jaya police chief ACP Arjunaidi Mohamad, one of the sisters was slashed in her hand but her injury was not serious.
He said police had increased their patrols in the area and are trying to trace the robber from the images obtained from the CCTV recording.
In another unrelated case, which occurred on Monday in PJS 10 near the condominiums, a 24-year-old woman from Puchong who was driving home after visiting friends was waylaid by two men and raped.
The two men had stopped the woman's car, forced her to the back seat, and taken over the wheels.
Arjunaidi said that when the men discovered that the woman did not have enough valuables on her, they drove her to a secluded spot where one of them raped her.
The woman was taken on a terror ride for about two hours before being dropped off at the same spot where she was confronted by her attackers. -- theSun
