MASKED ROBBERS
Woman Abducted To A Boat
In the small hours of yesterday morning-about one o'clock, when waits in Hong Kong and Kowloon were singing carola-a desperate robbery was perpetrated on a mother and child in the Safkung district, in the extreme east of the New Territory.
Three masked armed robbers broke into their house, collected about $50 in loot and then abduct- ed the woman, who is 47 years of age and forced her to accompany them to a small boat which was waiting at the waterside.
