By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - A restaurant in the capital was robbed early yesterday morning. Liakat Enterprise Sdn Bhd Restaurant has been hit twice within the past few months. Police gathered evidence at the crime scene from 10 am to 3 pm yesterday.

The owner reportedly lost $570 cash, 70 assorted shirts, 102 assorted watches costing $70 above, 60 pairs of shoes, 100 wallets, 20 raincoats, 1 VCD machine, five luggage bags and five portable tape recorders at the adjoining shop at his first floor restaurant.

However, it is suspected that the robbers had too many things to carry as one sack full of shirts was left behind. They also left a pair of slippers, which is now in the hands of the police.

The cash register was dragged a few metres away from near the shop before the robbers forced it open, it was suspected.

Employees of the establishment said they had closed the restaurant and the adjoining shop at about 9 pm Friday night. However, when they arrived for work the next morning, they were shocked to discover that the grill entrance and door had been forced open and the shop ransacked and robbed.

The pervious robbery was committed last October, when one of the employees was beaten and robbed over $100 cash, a 'Seiko 5' watch and a gold chain. He had to seek treatment at RIPAS Hospital.

Other workers ran to help their colleague and managed to catch two of the thieves. They were later handed over to the police.
