The only two passengers inside the massive B747 were Lim and his bodyguard Harry. The loot was kept in the cabin,weighing almost a ton. They were made up of stolen gold bars, diamonds and other precious gems looted during world war 2 by the Japanese Army.
The B747 landed with a loud thud on a rough runway. It turned off the runway as soon as it could and parked at a tarmac nearby. The airport was deserted as it was a private one. There were no one except two big British looking guys waiting for the arrival of Lim and Harry.
A black Jaguar and a land rover were parked nearby.
As soon as Lim and Harry disembarked from the plane, the two guys approached them. They seemed to know one another rather well.
The four men carried the three vaults of the loot one by one and transferred them to the land rover. The moment the last vault was inside the land rover, they sped away, going at a hundred miles an hour along the highway.
Less than a few minutes away, there was a road block.Not wanting to raise any suspicion, Lim and company stopped their vehicles and greeted the police officers. They were cleared to proceed on their journey.
Lim and his companions gave a sigh of relief. But as soon as their vehicles picked up speed, a convoy of police cars gave chase and cornered them.
The policemen aimed their guns at Lim and company and ordered them out of their vehicles. After a search of the land rover, Lim and his three other companions were arrested and handcuffed.
They were driven to a police station a few miles away and detained in a lock up.
Inspector Alex who was in charge of the operation rang Tony up. "Tony, I got all of them as well as the treasure", Inspector Alex told Tony over his mobile phone. "Hey Alex, thanks for your assistance", Tony gratefully replied. "Alex, could you passed your mobile to a guy called Harry please...yes the one with Lim, I would like to speak with him"...Tony asked Alex.
Alex handed over his phone to Harry and told him a gentleman wanted to speak with him.. "Hello its Harry here"...he said. " Good job done Harry!" Tony congratulated Harry.
Tony related to Inspector Alex the whole story of the shipment of the Yamashita's Treasure to England.
Next afternoon, Harry flew back to Singapore on a BA flight. Tony and Co was at Changi Airport to meet him.
Burt was there too. As for Lim and his two other British friends, they were charged for smuggling and possessing illegal goods.
A few days later, Burt flew to London and met his solicitors. There was a court case and to cut the story short, one third of the treasure was returned to Burt's family. The balance of the treasure was to be distributed among the British government and the other rightful owners' families in Singapore.
Back in Singapore Tony, Maniam, Angel,TG and Harry opened a bottle of Dom to celebrate their success.
