Robbed in USJ 11/3

Dear Residents,

I got this email from Chris Eagle who lives over at USJ 11/4. His young son was robbed in our vincinity when he came over to our area for tuition last Monday, 14 September 2009. The email is attached for your reading.

We have also informed all our security guards about this incident and we have instructed them to be extra vigilant and to be more stringent in their checks. And over the holiday period, we intend to keep all the small gates locked at all times to minimize unwanted intrusion.

The theives and robbers are now getting more and more desperate as they are targeting softer targets. With increased security, they have now less opportunities than before.

There are steps we can take to avoid such situations. For kids with handphone, we should advise them never to use it when they are alone or in open areas where they can be potentially robbed. They have to be educated about motorcyclists who are near them and to take extra precaution. It is our responsibility to ensure that safety of our children are always taken care of. And education is one big part of it.

We would like to thank Chris for informing us of this unfortunate incident. With this, we can be more alert towards such possible situations.

Lastly, please do be careful this coming long weekend. Do secure your homes well if you are planning to go away for the holidays.

Thank you.

Dear Jeffrey,

I am a resident of USJ 11/4. I feel the need to inform US 11/3 RA of the robbery happened to my son today around 2.10pm in USJ 11/3.

My son was going for tuition in USJ 11/3C. He has just cycled past the security guard and was suddenly stopped by a motorist (who came from behind) just when my son was about to turn left into USJ 11/3C. The robber came down from his bike and confronted my son asking for money. He then grabbed my son’s hand and snatched the hand phone from my son’s pocket.

The whole incident happened right on the same straight road, maybe 200m from where the security guard checkpoint was situated.

Regards,

Chris
