Four men, one of whom carried a pistol entered a house on Yen Ping Roa: and intimidated the occupants. One of the more daring eluded the guard and managed to inform the police.
Hardly had the gang left the house before a party of officers approached and gave chase. With the police in full pursuit, the gang Separated, two going in one direction, the others making off singly.
The police in the main followed the first two, and although the others were traced across fields and alleyways, they escaped. The first mentioned were chased to the com+ pound of Messrs. Arts & Craft, where, with the assistance of the watchmen, they were arrested.
The police covered their men and while officers pounced on the man carrying the weapon, the others, having got their prey, helped to cover.
