At 4.30am on Thursday morning, the police received a call from a member of the public regarding three suspicious men at the void deck of Block 849 Jurong West Street 81.
The police arrived at the scene and detained the 22-year-old for stealing a bicycle there. The two other men who had left before the police arrived were arrested in the vicinity of Gul Road on the same day.
