Police officers broke into a rented semi-detached house on Thursday after the tenants - a single mother and her three teenage children - locked themselves in and refused to assist in investigations over a dispute which arose from unpaid rent.
The mother had refused to let the officers question her two boys aged 12 and 17. A report was lodged against them for threatening the landlord of the Upper Paya Lebar Crescent house.
According to reports, the family had not paid rent for two months but refused to move out.
Police officers arrived at the house at about 3pm. After a two-hour standoff, the Singapore Civil Defence Force officers were called in to cut the locks and forcibly gain entry into the house. Plainclothes and uniformed officers armed with police shields then charged into the house.

SINGAPORE - A woman and her three children who got into a two-hour standoff with the police after refusing to pay rent to their landlord last Thursday have been evicted not just once, but five times.
This was revealed to Shin Min Daily News by the landlord caught up in the most recent incident, Madam Khoo.
She told the Chinese evening daily that she learnt her tenant, Ms Chng, had been previously evicted for after engaging a lawyer to handle the case.
He told her that his checks showed Ms Chng have been evolved in four previous eviction cases for failing to pay rent.
The family, including two brothers aged 17 and 12 and a sister aged 16, had rented terraces and semi-detached houses in places like Yio Chu Kang, Serangoon and Payar Lebar.
Previous houseowners had to call in bailiffs to issue the family with notices to vacate their premises.
In an interview with Shin Min, Ms Chng said she had to move house 10 times in the last 17 years with her children in tow, because her landlords failed to keep up their end of the bargain. She alleged that they did not properly maintain the premises. For this reason, she would find a new place to stay each time her tenancy contract expired.
Home-schooled
Ms Chng also said that her children had not gone to school in the last five years, with her youngest son, 12, attending Primary 1 for only half a year before she allowed him to drop out.
