Home, lorry looted
By Cheryl Ong
A MAN living in Blk 462 Crawford Lane returned home to find his house broken-into and ransacked on Sunday.
A laptop worth $2,000 and two mobile phones worth $200 each were stolen.
The 35-year-old told police he had secured his windows and door before he left for a day out out with his family at 1.45pm that day.
When he returned at 6.30pm, the door was slightly ajar. His room had been ransacked and the electronic gadgets were missing.
In another case, two cameras were stolen from an unattended lorry parked on 77 Jalan Seaview, near Marine Parade Road, last Wednesday.
The driver, a 27-year-old Indian national, had left the cameras worth a total of $700 in full view on the seat when he parked the lorry at 9pm.
The next day, at 8.15am, the driver returned and discovered that the cameras - a Canon and a Pentax - were gone.
The police said they did not find signs of tampering on the lorry. The windows had also not been smashed.
Drivers are reminded not to leave their unattended valuables in full view in their parked vehicles.
Members of the public with information about either case can contact the police at 1800-255-0000.
