A robbery I witnessed

Talk about a robbery you witnessed

It happened on one Saturday evening My mother and I

went shopping to buy a gift for my father After much

thought my mother decided to buy a gold ring

We went to a goldsmith’s shop The Sales Assistant

showed us a lot of gold rings in various designs My

mother was enchanted by a ring with a sparkling diamond

on it As we were admiring the ring, four men wearing

ski-mask rushed into the shop They ordered all the people to

stand up against the wall with their hands raised above

their heads The four robbers were armed with guns They

were dressed in black and wore gloves on both hands

One of the men placed a brief case on the counter and

ordered one of the Sales Assistants to empty the trays of

jewelries into the briefcase The Sales Assistant was

shaking with fear, and quickly started to do what he was

ordered to do

I notice that the burglar alarm was not far from where I

was standing I slowly moved towards the alarm, and tried

to reach it without being noticed After much difficulty I

managed to get close to the alarm I cautiously lifted my

right leg and pressed the button The alarm started to ring

loudly The robbers panicked, they grabbed the briefcase

and rushed to a waiting car and drove away I rushed out

of the shop to see the number of the car I quickly

memorized the number of the getaway car

A few minutes later the police arrived I told them the

number of the robbers’ car They immediately informed

headquarters to put up road blocks They questioned us

before letting us go Photographers took photos of the

scene of the robbery

Next day my father read in the papers that the robbers

were caught and the stolen goods recovered

Describe a robbery at a late cold night

One late cold winter night, we heard the moan of an old

lady from the nearby house The old lady was living alone

with her ailing husband who is also bedridden Her sons

were living in Australia The old couple refused to leave

their homeland and therefore live alone We left sorry for

them and as neighbors we often help them in any way

possible It seems on that cold winter night some burglars

had entered their house through the kitchen window which

was not properly grilled and locked

The burglars had overpowered the old people, tied them to

the chair and cot respectively, took away six hundred

dollars and jewels The old lady managed to free herself

from the bonds and crawled to the corridor with a moan

which we all heard Several people rushed over

immediately and the men tried to untie the old man and

then to inform the police The women were helping the old

lady by applying cold water to the bruises and rearranging

the furniture The rope was very tight and the old man

suffered bruises on his skin

Two of us ran out to see if the culprits were still around

Soon we heard police sirens, two patrol cars screeched to

a halt in front of our house and we saw policemen running

up the stairs The policemen made a thorough search and

got statements from the old people The old people’s

monthly pension money and some of the jewel which they

valued were gone

Messages were sent to their sons abroad One week later

one of their sons returned to Singapore and brought the

old people to Australia Despite the robbery, the old couple

were reluctant to leave Singapore Finally, they were

persuaded by us to accept their son’s offer

On the date of their departure, the old couple thanked all

those who came to help them in their hour of need
