A 61-year-old Singaporean man has admitted to quietly stealing hundreds of women’s undergarments over a prolonged five-year period, after being caught during a pre-dawn incident in Bukit Batok Central. The case, which unfolded in court this week, sheds light on how repeated petty thefts can go unnoticed for years before a single encounter exposes the full scale of the wrongdoing.
The offences only surfaced when a resident confronted the man at around 4.20am in May 2025. What initially appeared to be suspicious loitering along a Housing Board corridor quickly escalated into a police matter that revealed a long-running pattern of theft involving 320 items.
The accused, identified as Dennis Kwek, pleaded guilty to one count under the Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act. He is scheduled to be sentenced in April.
