A 37-YEAR-OLD man suspected of being responsible for a series of coffee shop break-ins has been arrested by the police.
Between October and December 2010, several cases of break-ins at coffee shops in Geylang East Central, Upper Boon Keng Road and Bedok North were reported.
The burglar stole mainly cash and cigarettes from these coffee shops, amounting to about $6,550 in total.
Police caught the suspect red-handed early on Tuesday morning, as he attempted to break into another coffee shop along Upper Boon Keng Road.
The man will be charged in court on Wednesday morning.
