GEORGE TOWN: A man said to be responsible for at least 25 burglaries was nabbed by police while attempting to break into a 15th floor flat in Macallum Street here.
Police found the 25-year-old, nicknamed “Spiderman”, hiding beneath an air-conditioning unit outside the flat early on Monday morning. Supt Gan said police recovered a number of rare coins which the man had stolen earlier.
He added that the man had confessed to 25 break-ins in the George Town area, and had a criminal record for break-ins and drugs cases.
The man, who is currently on remand, also tested positive for methamphetamine.
