Cop’s story – read it to believe it

Today, The Star had a story titled “Cops foil robbery at cigarette hoarder’s house”. For those who have read the story, I am sure, will be wondering about the “sleek silvery Toyota MR2 driven by a police officer, rammed into the robbers car” (picture source: The Star).

However, I must admit that it is not everyday, you see our police chasing robbers with high performance cars.… [Click to read the rest] “Cop’s story – read it to believe it”
