Snatched - right in front of the house!

Message from Eileen Cheah
USJ RA/SJ Alert

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dear all

I have been asked to post the following "alert" on behalf of Mr Tony Xavier, a founding member of the USJ Residents Association.

This incident happened on Sunday January 04, 2009 circa 5.00pm

Mr Tony's daughter-in-law was sweeping the house porch. The house gates were open/ajar. Suddenly, she was pushed to the ground and her gold chain was snatched from her neck. The perpetrator then fled with another accomplice on a Suzuki motorbike (could not glimpse the motorbike reg.no). However, the bike-rider appeared about 40-ish while the other was younger, something like in his 20-s. They appeared to have dark complexion (Malay/Indon-looking).

Mr Tony's house is a end unit located along Jalan USJ 2/4 (main road which is quite busy traffic-wise). Obviously, the daughter-in-law must have been observed by the perpetrators before they sprang into action.

Balai Polis USJ 8's S-I Amir was contacted and he promptly despatched a patrol car but to no avail. A police report has been lodged.

Btw, USJ 2 has been reported to have a high spate of snatch-thefts lately, mainly targetting those walking home from the Persiaran Kewajipan/Summit/main road as well as outside residential homes (as in the case like Mr Tony's).

PLEASE REPORT ALL INCIDENTS -- including attempted incidents not involving any losses - TO THE POLICE SO THAT INCURRENCES ARE NOTED FOR ENHANCED POLICE PATROLS. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

Last but not least, the onus is on YOU to exercise your own personal protective measures ... be careful how you carry your handbags/purses, ensure your cars are locked (better still with security devices), home gates/windows are secure and locked, etc.

SO PLEASE BE VERY ALERT TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS & OBSERVE THE MOVEMENTS OF VEHICLES, etc.

regards/eileenc
