A 'mini zoo' in house
Police and Department of Wildlife and National Parks officers removing one of Zaiton Arshat’s tigers from his home on Thursday
SUNGAI PETANI: A team of policemen who raided a house searching for a robber got a shock when they discovered a pair of tigers, a crocodile and two monkeys on the premises.
Zaiton Arshat, 56, who is being sought in connection with the RM3.19 million cash-in-transit heist in Gurun on Feb 5, was not at home although his wildlife collection was.
In the 7.45pm incident on Thursday night, police were forced to force open the front gate of Zaiton's house after his eldest son refused entry to the raiding party.
The tigers were discovered inside a cage installed in one of the rooms in the house.
There were also two monkeys and the crocodile was found in a pond outside the house.Department of Wildlife and National Parks officers later fired tranquilliser shots at the tigers before loading them onto trucks.
The animals were then taken to the Malacca Zoo.source: http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Saturday/National/2173841/Article
