Attempted Break-in

Dear Residents

Below is an email from SJ Alert which is worthwhile for us to take note.

Attempted break-in at usj12/1 on 28july, 2009

Watch out for Four Chinese guys aged 25-30 in their smart causal wear, polo shirt and jean, looking like college students with their fair skin, driving a silver colored Honda CRV(old model) number plate WKD 6009.The break-it happened on 28 July, 2009 tuesday around 11:15am. As we came home we saw the CRV parked outside our neighbour's house with window winded down and the driver inside pretending to look at the opposite For Rent house. The car's engine was running and it parked right in front of our neighbour's gate to block the view of the House's front door, so any passerby will not be able to see what's going on at the car porch.As we enter our carporch we saw another 3 men suddenly appeared with canvas tool bag that used by locksmith or plumber, walked towards the gate quickly. We asked who were they looking for, but they pretended not hearing and jumped into their CRV and zoomed away.The neighbour came back immediately after receiving our call, and discovered his main door's grille with 3 locks was almost opened and the bottom part of the the grille is giving away.The police came and told us the thefts are pro and know how to open locks. Beside using their car they also used the neihbour's laundry rack to block view of the front door while they were working on the grille. Before the policemen finish taking pictures, he received another break-in call from USJ 13 that he has to rush to.We are part of our Neighbourhood Watch that started in 2000, but lasted not long due to most of the houses here are tenanted houses. We also contacted Security company at that time but it was too costly due to many exit points. We hope our neighbour will keep an eye for each other as our police force is out numbered by the bad guys. Otherwise we may have to do the same as other areas by using road block, fence and guards.
