Dear SRA Members,
Please be on the alert. There have been two confirmed cases of daylight robbery in Seputeh in August.
In both cases, robbers entered the house in broad daylight and seemed to be well-organised with possibly even having look-outs for them.
On Aug 9, a Seputeh resident just left his home for about 20 minutes that Sunday morning when his alarm was triggered. He immediately turned back and headed home.
Arriving home some 10 minutes later, he saw that his home was already broken into and called the police. He entered the house with the police but it was too late.
In a mere 10-15 minutes, the robbers had dismantled his CCTV cameras and disabled his alarm system. He suffered quite heavy losses and fortunately no one was hurt because no one was in.
The second robbery was just down the same road and it took place on Tuesday Aug 25 at 2.30pm. Three men jumped over the well-guarded fence to catch three children and two maids unawares.
They tied them up and ransacked the house. They even had the audacity to call in a vehicle to take over the loot. Luckily, no one was hurt in this incident as well. Surely, it must have been traumatic for the victims.
So, folks, let us be more aware of goings-on in the neighbourhood and watch out for our neighbours.
In both these cases, the homes were quite well protected with cameras and alarms but alas, it could not stop or prevent these well-organised robbers.
The police have been urged to step up patrols but let us beware.
Cheers
KH Lim
SRA Vice-President

Can you let us know on which street did these crimes took place?
ReplyDeletethese two cases took place in Sg Dua but actually, it can take place anywhere if these organised gangs were to target a certain house or shop for that matter.
