SINGAPORE – Police arrested a 22-year-old man for his suspected involvement in a home break-in in Yishun on May 30.

In a statement on May 31, the police said they were alerted to a break-in at Block 225 Yishun Street 21 at about 9.50am on May 30.

Cash amounting to $520, bank cards, NRICs and an ez-link card were allegedly stolen.

Officers from the Woodlands Police Division and Police Operations Command Centre identified the suspect through ground inquiries and CCTV footage, and subsequently arrested him near Block 744 Yishun Street 72.

The stolen bank cards, NRICs and ez-link card were recovered from the suspect’s possession, the police said, adding that they also seized a pair of pliers that was allegedly used to commit the crime.

The man is expected to be charged with housebreaking on June 1. If found guilty, he can be jailed for up to 10 years and fined.

To prevent homes from being broken in to, the police advised the public to secure all doors, roller shutters, windows and other openings with grilles and closed shackle padlocks before leaving their homes, even for a short while.

Are you assuming like what the Deacon @True Believer who assume everyone here is very envious of him? Or, you are as certain as the department of statistics?

And why you excluded The Mayfair?

By conventional societal markers, The Mayfair offers few of the characteristics typically associated with residential prestige: it is leasehold, non-prime, and, in this forum, was made famous by a tenant rather than a legal owner.​

Being expected to be envious of oneself is the same as flaccids who think that they are virile after watching porn.
