A SNATCH-AND-RUN robbery was foiled by three members of the
public on Monday night.
A 33-year-old woman had the gold necklace she was wearing yanked
off her by one of the suspects, as she was walking along Hougang
Avenue 2 with her 8-year-old daughter.
The victim's calls for help alerted a resident, Mr Zainudin, who
came to assist her. He helped her search the area for the
suspect.
They found the suspect who fled at the sight of the victim. He
was joined by an alleged accomplice as he took flight.
Mr Zainudin, together with two passers-by - Mr Muhammad Imran
Kuna and Mr Mohammed Nazir - chased and apprehended both suspects
who were then passed on to the police.
The two suspects, aged 22 and 26, will be charged in court on
Wednesday.
