Break-in Through the Roof in SS2D

Dear Member Residents,

Be informed that there was a break-in to a member's house in SS2D through the roof on
19.7.2016 at around 11.00 am morning. The thief climbed up to the roof, removed the tiles,
cut the zinc plate and plaster ceiling board and went inside the house.

When the house alarm was triggered, the security guard went to the house to investigate.
They rang the door-bell but did not receive any response. The guard then took the picture of
the house and informed the Security Committee (SC) Members. The SC in turn called the
owner to inform him triggered alarm. The owner subsequently called his wife who returned
home later. During that time, the guard noticed that both the front and back doors were closed.
According to the owner later, the thief came down from the roof through the damaged ceiling
board.

It is possible that the thief might have easily climbed up to the roof by way of the steel
telephone pole with horizontal brackets located in the back lane and then escaped through the
back window after the break in. Coincidently, there was drain work being carried out by a
contractor nearby.

Residents are again advised to be on full alert, be cautious and be more careful when leaving
or returning home.

Security Committee
