Three men, aged between 22 and 23, have been arrested for their suspected involvement in a case of armed robbery with hurt.
Police were alerted to the incident on Apr. 10 at around 11:25pm.
The men had allegedly made prior arrangements to go to a residential unit along Rangoon Rd.
After entering, one of them allegedly brandished a knife. The trio then assaulted the four victims inside the unit, and demanded cash from them at knifepoint.
Out of fear, the victims handed over S$16,300 in cash, as well as one gold chain and one gold bracelet.
Three of them sustained minor injuries, and the men then fled the scene.
Through ground enquiries and with the aid of images from police cameras, police officers established the identities of the three men.
They were arrested at Marsiling Drive on Apr. 11, and a knife was recovered and seized.
