S-pass FTs arrested for bid to rob Burger King

FAST money, not fast food, was on the minds of assailants in two armed robbery attempts at Burger King outlets on Wednesday and in April.
On Thursday, police said two Filipino men had been arrested for their alleged involvement in the incidents.
The duo, acquainted with each other and working here on S-Passes, struck at a branch at International Plaza in Anson Road on Wednesday.
One of them is also believed to have been involved in another attempt in April at new underground shopping mall Esplanade Xchange.
Both incidents occurred when there were few people around - one outlet was closed for the night and the other had not yet opened for business.
Calling the attempts 'bold and audacious', Deputy Commander of Central Police Division, Deputy Assistant Commissioner (DAC) Adrian Quek said armed robberies at fast-food restaurants here are almost unheard of.
