$50,000 cash and 7 luxury items worth $67,000 stolen from Club Street home, 3 men arrested
Cash amounting to about $50,000, two luxury watches and five luxury bags worth about $67,300 as well as an assortment of jewellery were purportedly stolen from a residence at Club Street.
The police were alerted to a case of housebreaking and theft at a residential unit along Club Street on July 28 at about 4.40am.
Preliminary investigations revealed that two men had purportedly entered the home by climbing over the air-conditioner ledge. They concealed their appearances with caps and masks.
Through ground enquiries and with the aid of images from police cameras and CCTV, officers from Central Police Division established the identities of the two men, aged 31 and 32, and arrested them on the same day of the report.
Cash amounting to $41,400 and the seven luxury items were recovered.
A 30-year-man was also arrested on the same day for harbouring one of the two men. Police investigations are ongoing against him.
The two men will be charged in court on 30 July 2024 with housebreaking and theft with common intention, which carries an imprisonment term of up to 10 years and a fine.
Harbouring an offender is an offence that carries an imprisonment term up to one-fourth of the longest term of imprisonment provided for the predicate offence or a fine, or both.
