CEREAL ROBBER

Police have arrested a 17-year-old male suspect believed to be involved in two cases of armed robbery, a case of outrage of modesty and a case of snatch theft.

All four cases were committed on May 23 this year in Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Batok.

The first case was reported at about 2pm, where a 19-year-old female victim was robbed of her mobile phone at knife-point along Choa Chu Kang Crescent.

At about 3.13 pm the same day, another victim, a 16-year-old, reported that she was molested and assaulted by an unknown male along Bukit Batok St 31.

Both victims described the man as wearing a grey T-shirt, blue jeans and a cap.

Police launched a search and spotted the suspect around Bukit Batok Street 31.

After giving chase, the man was apprehended at about 4.45pm.

A mobile phone belonging to the first victim and a woman’s red wallet was found on him.

The red wallet belonged to another victim, 23, who had lodged a snatch-theft report at Hong Kah North Neighbourhood Police Post.

The man is also suspected to be involved in another case where a 16-year-old victim reported being robbed at knife-point and molested along Bukit Batok Street 31.

The suspect will be charged in court on May 25 for armed robbery, which carries an imprisonment term of up to 14 years and up to 24 strokes of cane.
