Robbed by parang gang in USJ 11/3

To all residents in USJ 11/3,

RED ALERT - the same gang which struck in USJ 11/4 has hit our area tonight despite us sending out red alerts in the past weeks. They had climbed over the fence of this end-lot house in USJ 11/3L, terrorized and robbed the family at around 8:30pm tonight (27 July 2011).

There were four of them - 3 Cantonese speaking Chinese and one chubby Malay. All of them were armed with parang and were wearing surgical masks. One of the Chinese man had his hair dyed blonde. They waited until the maid came out to dry the clothes before they struck which seem to give the impression that they have been watching this house for some time.

Two of them climbed over the gate while the other two climbed over the side fence. The house is an end-lot and has high fence and a gate which is installed with wood. That made it impossible to see what was going on in the house from the outside which was perfect for the robbers. 

They herded the occupants and locked them up. Before that, they had asked where the CCTV was installed and also the valuables. They took away the CCTV unit, a safe, a computer, cash and jewelry. It was all over in about 10 minutes and they took off in a old Honda car. Unfortunately, the witness who saw the car could not make out the model or the color as the area was not so brightly lit.

They seemed to target corner or end lot houses with high walled fence and also blocked out gates. They would come around 8pm - 9pm and also around 6am - 7am. With that in mind, please look out for yourselves and be vigilant at all times. Change some of your routines and make sure you do check the surroundings before you open the gate especially during those times mentioned.

These crooks will strike again as they have had some successes here. So be extra cautious during these times especially if you are living in a corner house or an end-lot and have blocked out gates and high walled fence. Please do look out for one another as neighbors to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Dear committee,

Thank you for the update. I would suggest reverting back to the old system of guarded posts at the exits. Though this is not a fool proof method, I view this as a better system than having the guards patrolling the lanes. I have caught the guard assigned to my lane on various occassions cycling past without even taking a second look at my house! As for those non paying residents, it is on them and their conscience. I am sure I don't speak for myself when I say the rest of us paying residents are behind the committee and do appreciate the tireless effort that you all have put in.

Regards, Mrs Lim (11/3C)
