The incident happened at a residential unit along Yishun Street 22.

Another photograph shows a debtor's note which reads: "Own (Owe) money. Pay money. Call me back for payment (sic)."
The man was arrested by officers from Woodlands Police Division through follow-up investigations and with the aid of images from police cameras.
He was arrested within four hours of the report made.
A plastic bag containing a can of paint, white tape, black permanent marker and one debtor's note were seized as case exhibits.
The man will be charged in court on Monday.
If found guilty of loanshark harassment, he could be jailed for up to five years, fined up to $50,000, and receive up to six strokes of the cane.
