3 foreign men get up to 7 years 4 months jail in Singapore for planning burglaries of landed homes and stealing S$644,700

Three foreign men face up to seven years and four months in prison in Singapore for planning burglaries of wealthy homes and stealing S$644,700 worth of valuables. The gang targeted landed estates on May 9, 2025, and May 10, 2025, stealing jewelry, watches, and cash. Their second attempt was foiled when an elderly resident spotted one of the thieves and poured water on him, causing him to slip and fall.

The trio used a rented car, disguises, and tools to gain entry to the homes, while the lookout remained outside. All three pleaded guilty to theft, housebreaking, and concealing criminal benefits. Judge Ong Luan Tze emphasized the serious nature of the case, noting the planning, extensive ransacking, and damage caused. The men received prison sentences ranging from six years and eight months to seven years and four months.
