PUBLISHED ONFebruary 23, 2026 12:49 PMBYSean LerFresh information has emerged regarding the alleged home intrusion in Upper Thomson on Saturday (Feb 21).
Residents in the landed enclave told AsiaOne on Monday (Feb 23) that a similar case happened on the first day of Chinese New Year (Feb 17) at a private residential property along Taman Permata, also in Upper Thomson, some 500m away.
AsiaOne understands that residents living in the affected property returned home to find what appeared to be shoe marks in the living room and called the police.
Similar to the case at Marigold Drive, some houses along Taman Permata also have backyards bordering the dense forested area of the Central Catchment Nature Reserve.
In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police confirmed that they received a call for assistance at about 7.50pm on Feb 17.
Preliminary investigations revealed that a suspect had allegedly entered a home without permission and left prior to officers' arrival.
The police added that efforts to trace the perpetrator are underway, and investigations are ongoing.
It is unclear if the same suspect was involved in this case and the Feb 21 incident at Marigold Drive.
Members of the public with information relating to the Feb 17 incident at Taman Permata, or the Feb 21 incident at Marigold Drive, are advised to contact the police hotline at 1800-255-0000 or submit information online at http://www.police.gov.sg/i-witness.
Police also advised residents in the area to remain vigilant and report any suspicious people or activities immediately.
