一 | Birkenstock took a big step forward on Wall Street this week, taking the nearly 250-year-old German shoe and sandal maker public.The footwear, often seen as a counter culture shoe for hippies, and in more recent years influencers, has become must-have footwear for many people, but Birkenstock's Initial Public Offering, or IPO, which was originally priced at $46 per share, didn't attract the dress shoe-wearing stock brokers on Wednesday.Shares opened at $41, near the lower end of its expected range of $44 to $49 set a week prior, as Birkenstock CEO Oliver Reichert rang the opening bell in a room surrounded by traders sporting the opened-toed footwear and others waving the sandals in the air.Birkenstock Holding Ltd. sold nearly 10.8 million shares in the offering, which raised about $495 million on the day. Its shareholders sold an additional 21.5 million shares, according to the Associated Press."Through the strong reputation and universal appeal of our brand -- enabling extensive word-of-mouth exposure and outsized earned media value -- we have efficiently built a growing global fanbase of millions of consumers that uniquely transcends geography, gender, age and income," Birkenstock said in a recent regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to the AP.What started out in 1774 as a somewhat frumpy, but functional arch support sandal has transformed into a cult fashion item and billion dollar business, bolstered with support from the recent blockbuster hit "Barbie" when Margot Robbie's character is forced to choose between high heels or the strappy suede footwear.In tandem with the opening on Wall Street, Birkenstock hosted three consumer activations in public parks throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn.To highlight New York as "the city that never stops walking," the brand created what it dubbed "Birkenfields" for a public sensory experience that explored the brand's nearly 250-year heritage and expertise in foot health.The global brand is deeply rooted in foot health maintenance as well as a family tradition of shoemaking: Its inventor sought to provide function, quality and tradition as Birkenstock's core values.Over 95% of Birkenstock products are assembled in Germany with more than 90% of their materials and components sourced from Europe, ensuring the brand meets "the highest environmental and social standards in the industry by operating state-of-the-art scientific laboratories for materials testing," according to a company press release.。 罗昌长、龙志华。（图：新加坡警察部队）早前犯下破门行窃案的两名中国籍男子所盗走的财物总价值，从63万3000元下修至57万零100元。《8视界新闻网》早前报道，两名被告——38岁的龙志华和43岁的罗昌长被控于今年6月22日，在温莎自然公园一带的住宅破门行窃，盗走15件总值63万3000元的珠宝，包括一对10万元的翡翠耳环、四对钻石耳环、金手镯、金发饰和金块。警方初步调查显示，这起案件同外国犯罪集团有关。新传媒英文新闻网CNA报道，两人的控状今天（30日）被修改，显示共有27件总值约57万零100元的珠宝被偷。龙志华所面对的另一项控状指他在6月26日，在芽笼一家酒店内涉嫌以欺骗手段取得一个钱包、一只手表、一对耳环和五枚戒指。两名被告从6月28日起被还押，并在还押地点通过视讯出庭面控。案件将在9月进行审前会议。若破门行窃罪名成立，他们可被判坐牢长达十年和被罚款。

三 | 嫌犯相信是以小组运作，通过攀爬住宅外墙或围栏进入住宅，他们在得手后，离开现场并尝试尽早离开我国以逃避追捕。嫌犯也涉嫌将盗走的物品藏匿在附近的草丛后，同伙会到该处取走赃物，警方也发现，多数被嫌犯盯上的住宅位于公园连道或丛林附近。警方仍在寻找刘来祥（左至右、上至下）、黄辉棠、韦名珍、龙超长、龙永玖、陈富安、凌银杰、莫正国、罗安定、龙召海、韦永国、常延国、黄子权和吴健新协助调查，但他们已经离境。（图：新加坡警察部队提供）警方另外锁定14人 除了龙志华和罗昌长，另一名被告吴锦兴在一项抵触贪污、贩毒和严重罪案（没收利益）法令罪名下被控，指他非法持有及藏匿贼赃。警方也锁定了另外14名中国籍人士，相信可协助调查这些案件，不过他们目前并不在新加坡。
