The Police have arrested a 70-year-old man for his suspected involvement in a case of criminal intimidation.
On 26 January 2025 at about 4.05pm, the Police received a call for assistance at Block 5 Saint George’s Lane. The caller informed the Police that a man was outside her house, knocking on the gate and hacking the door.
Through follow-up investigations and with the aid of images from Police cameras, officers from Central Police Division arrested the man within four hours of the report. A hammer was seized as case exhibit.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the man alleged that the caller had owed him money and had been avoiding his calls. He purportedly used the hammer, to threaten the caller and caused damages to the caller’s door by banging the door with the hammer.
The man will be charged in court on 27 January 2025 with the offence of criminal intimidation. The offence carries an imprisonment term of up to seven years, a fine, or both.
The Police take a serious view of criminal intimidation and will not hesitate to take action against individuals who engage in such behaviour.
