A woman has been arrested after attempting to seize a police officer's gun while breaking into her ex-boyfriend's home for the second time, according to prosecutors in Singapore. The 30-year-old suspect pleaded guilty to charges of using violence to impede a public servant and violating the Miscellaneous Act (Public Order and Nuisance).
The incident took place on October 13, 2024, at a mansion on Swettenham Road, near the Botanic Gardens. The ex-boyfriend had reported that his doors and windows were unlocked, and the suspect had entered his residence, prompting the police to escort her away from the scene. As they were doing so, she tried to grab the officer's gun, but was successfully pushed away.
The suspect had previously broken into the home in September 2024 and pleaded guilty on September 9. Her lawyer argued that she was suffering from mental health issues and requested mandatory treatment, but the case has been adjourned until September 15 for sentencing.
