SOME may call it poetic justice, harsh though it may seem.
A snatch thief running away from his victim was killed in a hit-and-run accident along Jalan Seri Kembangan yesterday morning.
The 23-year-old man, whose identity has been withheld, had dashed across the road after snatching a waist-pouch from a hawker about 12.30am.
A police spokesman said the victim, Kuan Yoke Wang, 39, his wife and nine-year-old daughter were closing up for the night at their roadside noodle stall.
He said the snatch thief approached Kuan, a polio victim, on the pretext of asking him whether his food stall was still open for business.
"We believe the snatch thief chose Kuan because Kuan had polio and walked with some difficulty. He grabbed a waist-pouch Kuan was carrying in his hand, thinking it contained Kuan's takings for the night.
