It took nearly 100 hours, but the Singapore Police Force have done it again. On Wednesday (1 Aug) night, they nabbed a Bangladeshi suspect in connection to an attempted robbery at a Boon Lay pawnshop on Saturday afternoon.
Police apprehended the man at Muscat Street, in the Kampong Glam area.
Media reports say that the 29-year-old suspect is a Bangladeshi construction worker who overstayed. He might face charges under Section 4(A) of the Arms Offences Act, which states that:
Anyone found guilty of using or attempting to use any arm at the time of his committing or attempting to commit any scheduled offence shall, whether or not he has any intention to cause physical injury to any person or property, be guilty of an offence and shall on conviction be punished with death.
This means that even if no injuries were caused to the pawnshop staff, the suspect faces the gravest penalty of the death sentence if convicted. He will be charged on Friday.
The shocking robbery took place at a pawnshop near Boon Lay MRT. The suspect allegedly threatened staff with a gun replica and a device that he claimed was an explosive.
