Police arrest robber with help from public-spirited individuals

Police managed to nab a man who made off with an elderly lady's gold chain, with some help from members of the public on Thursday.

The 85-year-old victim was pushed from behind as she sat at the void deck of a block in Clementi Avenue 1 on Thursday afternoon. The robber then snatched the gold chain she was wearing around her neck and fled. Her cries for help caught the attention of a 70-year-old man, who immediately called the police.

Based on the description of the suspect provided by both the victim and the elderly man, police tracked him to a nearby pawnshop.

As the suspect tried to flee, a struggle broke out, and two men who saw what was happening came forward and assisted the officers in subduing him.

The 30-year-old suspect was then arrested for robbery with hurt, which carries a maximum punishment of 20 years jail and 12 strokes of the cane.
