SINGAPORE: Three Malay youths, aged 14 to 16, have been
arrested. Police believe they are involved in a few cases of
robbery and snatch theft committed in Ang Mo Kio since October last
year.
Two of the cases involved residents being robbed of their cell
phones.
In a statement, the police said investigations led them to one
suspect, whom they arrested on Tuesday.
His two accomplices were arrested later that afternoon.
The police have advised members of the public to keep to well-lit
areas and avoid taking short-cuts through dark areas or back lanes.
