The Police have arrested a 60-year-old man for his suspected involvement in a case of housebreaking.

On 28 February 2026 at about 9.12pm, the Police were alerted to a case of housebreaking at a residential premise along How Sun Estate that had been broken into. 

Through ground enquiries and with the aid of images from Police cameras and CCTVs, officers from Ang Mo Kio Police Division established the identity of the man and arrested him on 3 March 2026. Preliminary investigations revealed that the man had allegedly entered the unit without permission and stolen cash amounting to $400 and a luxury branded watch valued at $38,900. The luxury branded watch was recovered and seized as a case exhibit. 

The man will be charged in court on 5 March 2026 for the offence of housebreaking under Section 451 of the Penal Code 1871. The offence carries an imprisonment of up to ten years and a fine. 

The Police would like to advise all property owners to adopt the following crime prevention measures:

• Secure all doors, roller shutters, windows and other openings with good quality grilles and padlocks when leaving your premises unattended, even for a short while;
• Refrain from keeping large sums of cash and valuables in your premises; and
• Install a burglar alarm, motion sensor lights and/or CCTVs, to cover the access points into your premises. Ensure that they are tested periodically and are in good working condition.
