Bedok robbers make off with half a million dollars of jewellery
SINGAPORE : Armed men made off with about half a million dollars worth of jewellery during a daylight robbery in Bedok Central on Friday.
Police received a call at around 3pm about the incident at Block 210.
Witnesses told Channel NewsAsia that they heard a woman yelling from Yong Sheng Goldsmith.
Eyewitness Amanda Tan said: "I heard someone shouting. So I and my colleagues thought there was some fight outside, so we wanted to go out to see. Then I heard someone run across and shout "robbery, robbery" in Chinese.
By then, the shutters were rolled down halfway. Peering into the shop, they claimed to have seen three masked men, all dressed in black.
They said two of the suspects jumped over the counter, while the other stayed put.
The witnesses said the ordeal lasted about two minutes, after which three men paced out rather calmly. Two of them were carrying bags, and the other, a knife that was about 30 centimetres long.
Eyewitness Sarina Goh said: "They carried a sling bag, then they kept quiet and ... walked like normal people."
The police said the suspects got away on two motorbikes with an assortment of jewellery valued at half a million dollars.
The suspects are believed to be three Chinese males.

Where are they going to sell off the jewellery?
Only armed with knife. I though they will carry machine guns and generades and than get into a gunfight with the police on the streets. So sian

You forgot that singapore police are very stupid too. Can even let Mas Selamat escape to malaysia.
Don't think they will be able to catch the robbers since the police are so stupid
