Грабители сбежали от Малайской полиции в учебку Сингапурской армии...Эх, Пулау Теконг...10 кв км - 3000 зольдат...
Так жестоко ещё никто не ошибался.
А ещё там бывают воздушные десанты - обязательно кто-то раз в год вываливается из люков для шасси самолётов по пути домой - улетающие в Индию и Бангладеш самолёты как раз взлетают над учебкой.
Last of three fugitive robbery suspects nabbed on Tekong (20 Mar 04)

SINGAPORE: Singapore authorities have arrested the last of three fugitive robbery suspects who had fled by boat to Pulau Tekong after committing two robberies in neighbouring Johor, Malaysia.
The third suspect was nabbed some 56 hours after a manhunt for the trio first started on Thursday morning.
He was found at about 4:45pm Saturday on the southeastern part of the island, near the beach where the trio's abandoned boat was found.
No weapons were found on him and he is under police interrogation.
The second suspect was arrested at about 10.30am earlier in the day while the first one was nabbed on Friday night.
The arrest of the two suspects on Saturday came after a tip-off by marine surveyors who reported sightings of two suspicious men on the beach at 10am.
The surveyors alerted the Police Coast Guard which arrived half an hour later to nab them.
One of them was arrested without putting up a struggle, but his companion managed to run away.
He was arrested some six hours later, around the same coastal area.
The second suspect, who claims to be a 26-year old Malaysian, told the Police he'd been surviving on rainwater and coconuts while on the run these three days.
He had 91 Malaysian ringgits and a gold ring on him.
Tan Puay Kern of the Singapore Police Force said: "About 5.30 this afternoon, that is about half an hour after the third suspect was found, he led us to a spot about 600 metres away from where he was found. He pointed out to us a pistol which he had earlier discarded and the pistol was found with four rounds."
Singapore authorities are now verifying the identity of the men with the Malaysian Police, who had earlier said all three men are Indonesian and armed.
The three-day manhunt involved some 700 army and police troops combing the island for the robbers, along with helicopters giving aerial support.
Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng said the Tekong incident was no security lapse.
He also said Singaporeans shouldn't take security for granted, but instead must play their part in preventing suspicious characters from entering the country.
He said: "I don't think we should consider this as a security lapse. We know we have put a cordon around Singapore, but we also know that with the best efforts, people can still slip in, even at the Causeway. I can't guarantee. With 100% checks, we may miss somebody. So, I think Singapore shouldn't be too sanguine about being 100% protected." - CNA
Из канадской жизни мне только 3 случая запомнилось:
1) Грабитель пошел грабить банк в хокейной футболке, где у него на спине было написано его имя...
2) В прошлом году 2 балбеса ограбили дачку плюс стибрили лодку и свалили на ней. Приплыв на другую сторону озера высодились и сожгли лодку. Только оказалось что они высадились на острове, а не на береге, и темп. воды была +4 цельсия...
3) Наркодельчы прибарабанили яхту наркоты, тоже сожгли ее чтоб не оставлять следы, сели в джип, а у него батарея сдохла. На свет пожара приехали менты...
