Another attempted break in today at 3P

Wednesday, June 9

This afternoon around 1:30 p.m., yet another attempted break-in happened to one of the houses in 3P. Luckily, the neighbour of the victim's house, who was about to go out, spotted a car (Honda CRV - Silver) parked near the victim's house. After driving out of her house, she decided to make a round to take another look.

Just then, two men were seen running out of her neighbour's house. The alarm was also triggered. Both were Chinese, one of them short and storky while the other was taller in their late 20s or early 30s. They jumped into the Honda CRV and drove off with one more of their accomplice at the wheel.

This was an unsuccessful attempt as the alarm was triggered. Their modus operandi was the same. They took the clothings which were hung out to dry on the rack and position it in such a way as to block the view of them breaking the front grill and window to gain entry into the house.

This time they left empty handed. We are now reviewing all the CCTVs and also working closely with the police to try and apprehend these crooks.

In view of the recent spate of break-in incidences, the Committee will be implementing the measures that we have diliberating over the last two weeks since the first break-in incidences were reported.

We will be issuing newsletters immediately to all of the residents. Two of the immediate measures will be:

1. To issue all car stickers to ALL residents so that stringent checks will be carried out on all outsiders coming into our area.

2. To permanently close the gate near the Chatters restaurant to restrict cars from coming into our area. This will free up the guards to do active patrolling during the vulnerable hours. 50% of the small side gates will also be locked up to reduce entry points.

We expect these measures and more will pose a lot of inconveniences to a lot of people but we have no choice if we are to gain an upper hand against the criminals. This is also for the safety of all our residents so we hope to get your cooperation and your understanding.

Thank you.

I believe we have to tighten the check on non residence's car enter into the area. When the break-ins occurred couple of weeks ago, there was witness said silver CRV was spotted, how can the security have not been told to watch out for it? If it happens for the first time, it is not our fault, but for second time, it is definitely our fault.

I find the security is rather slack. After the break-ins couple of weeks ago, it was already make known that a Silver CRV was the suspect, how can the security allow this to go through again?

We can do all we can, but if the security is not tighten, there is so much we can do. As you can see, even with alarm system installed, they are also targeting, it is lucky that the neighbour spotted it at the right time. Otherwise even with alarm system triggered, i doubt the security guard is bother to go and check.

Dear all,

We could not agree more with these comments.

You will see the tightening of controls in the days to come. We also agree the deteriorating performance of the guards.

All these are being addressed simultaneously. We take this incidences very seriously.

Rest assured we are going to implement all the measures that we think will help us improve the situation.

Thank you for your constructive comments.
