Through ground enquiries and with the aid of images from CCTV, officers from Bedok Police Division arrested the man on 2 January 2026. Preliminary investigations revealed that he is believed to be involved in another case of vandalising a public banner. 

The man will be charged in court on 3 January 2026 with the offence of vandalism under Section 3 of the Vandalism Act 1966. The offence carries a fine not exceeding $2,000, or imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years, and shall also be liable to caning of not less than three strokes and not more than eight strokes.
