City police deputy chief Supt M Chandra said the prostitutes, the oldest of whom is only 20-year-old, were arrested while waiting for customers along the back alleys of Kampung Air near the city's downtown area.
Chandra said the prostitutes cum thieves, known locally as ting-ting, would lure their clients to a specially modified room after offering their services for between RM30 and RM50.
He said the modus operandi of the prostitutes was to have their accomplices hide in a secret compartment in the room, who would steal the clients' wallets and valuables while the men were “busy”.
“Suddenly, the girl would then pretend to get a call warning that police were coming to raid the place, causing the client to abruptly leave the room without realising that he had been robbed,” he added.
The suspects had been put under remand, said Chandra, adding that the case was being investigated under Section 380 of the Penal Code for theft.
