On 3 February 2019 at about 5.25pm, the Police received a report that a secured bicycle was missing from the bicycle bay at Blk 162 Woodlands Street 13. Through ground enquiries and with the aid of images from Police cameras, officers from Woodlands West Neighbourhood Police Centre identified the two suspects and arrested them on 5 February 2019. A bicycle and a dark blue cap were seized as case exhibits.
Anyone convicted of theft may be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 3 years, or with fine, or with both.
The Police would like to remind members of the public to adopt the following crime prevention measures to safeguard their bicycles from theft:
