FTFY

But seriously, seems that the police are actually working on riverside now. Just scream and they're on the case. I'm impressed.

Maybe they can get rid of the Filipino scammers while they are at it. Seem to be more and more glue-sniffers hanging out there lately.

My 15yo niece got relieved of her Samsung phone at knife-point 3 nights ago, as she went from a shop to her mum's place near Psar Chas.
