Seven men, recruited from Malaysia, executed a swift and well-planned robbery at a bungalow in Singapore's Bukit Timah area on April 18, 2024. Armed with machetes and baseball bats, they tied up the occupants and stole approximately S$4.9 million (US$3.9 million) in cash, cryptocurrency, and valuables. The perpetrators fled to Malaysia, but most were apprehended and returned to Singapore for prosecution, though one suspect remains at large and is believed to be in Thailand. AI
