<!-- end left side bar --> <!-- story content : start --> TWO Indonesian men were arrested by vigilant police officers at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal on Tuesday as they were leaving the country. The men, aged 27 and 28, are suspects in a spate of thefts from motor vehicles at public carparks island-wide. On Monday, police received reports of three cars that had been broken into. The owners had parked their cars between 11.30am and 8pm at the open-air carparks at Jalan Sultan, Kallang Road and Banda Street. When they returned to their cars, they found their cars' rear passenger windows smashed and personal belongings stolen. Following the reports, police conducted extensive ground enquiries and investigations to track down the suspects.
On Tuesday at about 8pm, police officers deployed at the ferry terminal spotted the two men behaving suspiciously. A search on the men found some items which they could not account for. These items included US$500 (S$687) and S$50 worth of cash, a wallet, digital media player and a pair of sports shoes. Investigations revealed that the duo may be involved in other cases of theft from motor vehicles reported last year and this year at Jalan Besar, Geylang Serai and Bishan. The two suspects will be charged in court on Thursday morning. They face a maximum jail term of three years and/or a fine, if convicted.
