Fellow Orang Seputeh,
The SRA Committee blog (http://sracommittee.blogspot.com) has issued this alert:
Please be on the alert.
There have been two confirmed cases of daylight robbery in Seputeh in August.
In both cases, robbers entered the house in broad daylight and seemed to be well-organised with possibly even having look-outs for them.
On Aug 9, a Seputeh resident just left his home for about 20 minutes that Sunday morning when his alarm was triggered.
He immediately turned back and headed home.Arriving home some 10 minutes later, he saw that his home was already broken into and called the police.
He entered the house with the police but it was too late.
In a mere 10-15 minutes, the robbers had dismantled his CCTV cameras and disabled his alarm system.
He suffered quite heavy losses and fortunately no one was hurt because no one was in.
The second robbery was just down the same road and it took place on Tuesday Aug 25 at 2.30pm.
Three men jumped over the well-guarded fence to catch three children and two maids unawares.
They tied them up and ransacked the house. They even had the audacity to call in a vehicle to take over the loot.
Luckily, no one was hurt in this incident as well. Surely, it must have been traumatic for the victims.
So, folks, let us be more aware of goings-on in the neighbourhood and watch out for our neighbours.
In both these cases, the homes were quite well protected with cameras and alarms but alas, it could not stop or prevent these well-organised robbers.
The police have been urged to step up patrols but let us beware.
Cheers
KH Lim
SRA Vice-President
Let us hope we can do more to help ourselves, fellow Orang Seputeh,
Best regards

Pistol-whipped in pre-dawn robbery
KUALA LUMPUR: When Tay Poh Yang was awakened early yesterday, she was horrified to see a bloodied face staring at her.
The face was that of her husband, who sustained a deep cut on his forehead after being pistol-whipped by one of four masked robbers.
The husband, who only wanted to be known as See, had woken up about 4.30am to turn off the air-conditioner and open the windows of their house in Taman Seri Gombak.
All of a sudden, he was confronted by three men brandishing parang and one armed with a pistol.Before he could react, the man with the pistol hit him on the forehead with his firearm.
"The robber cocked his pistol and aimed it at my head. "I was told not to move and to keep quiet," said See.
Shortly afterward, the 44-year-old Tay and the couple's two sons were herded into a corner and told to be quiet, while another robber pounded on their daughter's room door.
See said: "He went in and ordered my daughter to join her mother and brothers in the corner. "All the while, I was clutching my head and blood was oozing out from the wound."
Tay said she poured out the contents of her handbag for the robbers."I told them to take whatever they wanted as long as they left my family alone."
The robbers were believed to have climbed over the front gate of the house. They used an unidentified liquid and a crowbar to break open the lock on a door. The robbers escaped with mobile phones, jewellery and cash.
However, in their haste, they left behind a ski mask and two parang. A neighbour took Tay to the Gombak police headquarters to lodge a report while another took See to the hospital to have his head wound treated.
After the robbery, residents in the area have hired a security firm to patrol their neighbourhood.
Let us not wait for such a misfortune to befall an Orang Seputeh before we act.
Best regards,
Orang Seputeh
