HOLLAND VILLAGE BANK ROBBERY: The Police confirmed that a robbery happened at 11.25 am today (July 7). It's unclear if the robber had any weapons, but the police confirmed that no injuries were reported. They've declined further comment as investigations are ongoing.
Mr Jack Chan, 48, manager of nearby cafe PARK, says his staff heard nothing since they started work at 10am. It was only around 12 noon that they saw about 10 police cars, but there were no sirens. Some of the policemen were wearing helmets on top of bulletproof vests.
We spoke to Auxillary Police Officers (APO) at the other banks in the area. A
t least two of the APOs said the Standard Chartered Bank branch at Holland Village has not had an APO for the past two years, apparently because of rising costs. The protocol for APOs is to raise any issues to their supervisor. They are to contact the police anytime, at their own discretion. APOs are also allowed to open fire at assailants should there be a life-threatening situation. (Photo: Najeer Yusof/TMG)
