AN 18-YEAR-OLD was charged on Friday for climbing into his
neighbours' apartments and stealing women's underwear.
Eugene Tan is believed to have done this at least seven times,
at different units in a condominium in Sengkang.
He was arrested on Thursday after a resident spotted him
standing on a neighbour's balcony. Not convinced by his
explanation, she told a security guard, who called the police.
Tan was charged in court with housebreaking and theft by
night.
He was remanded for two weeks for psychiatric assessment at the
Institute of Mental Health.
If convicted, he faces up to 14years in jail.
