S'porean robbed in Zurich restaurant

ZURICH (AFP): A Singaporean tourist, aged 37, was robbed of her bag containing cash and objects worth 31,000 Swiss Francs (US$22,000) while drinking coffee at a central Zurich restaurant, police said yesterday.

The bag, swiped from the back of the victim's chair around 8.00 a.m. (1 p.m. Jakarta time) Monday, held at least 10,000 Swiss francs and some Singaporean currency, jewels, a camera, passport and return airline ticket.

The tourist noticed her bag was missing only after she had finished her coffee, a police spokesman said.
