SINGAPORE - The police are appealing for information on a man who robbed $3,000 from a SingPost branch at Potong Pasir Community Club on Thursday afternoon (Feb 8).

 

There was no weapon involved and no one was injured.

 

The police said in a statement on Thursday that they received a report of the robbery at about 1.30pm.

 

The male suspect had walked into the branch wearing a white surgical mask and allegedly demanded the female staff to hand over all the money, the statement said.

 

"The female staff immediately ran into a room for safety. The male suspect then climbed over the counter and made off with about $3,000 in cash that was placed in the drawers."

 

The male suspect was wearing a black cap, a black sweater, blue jeans and black shoes, and was also carrying a black sling bag.

 

He was last seen running in the direction of Upper Serangoon Road, along Potong Pasir Avenue 1.

 

Police investigations are ongoing.
