A 23-year-old full-time national serviceman (NSF) with the Singapore Police Force (SPF) was arrested on suspicion of criminal trespass and voyeurism after allegedly entering a female toilet at the Police Training Command along Old Choa Chu Kang Road.
The incident reportedly occurred on 19 October at the Home Team Academy, where the NSF was working as a staff member. He was detained after allegedly entering the toilet without permission.
According to SPF, officers received a call for assistance at around 5.40am that day. Preliminary investigations found that the NSF had trespassed into a female toilet within the institution.
NSF Jumped From Third Storey While Being Engaged By Officers
While officers were engaging the man following his detention, he suddenly fled from them, according to the police.
He subsequently ran to the third storey of a nearby block and jumped from a ledge.
The man was taken to hospital while conscious. He sustained injuries that were not life-threatening and was receiving medical treatment, SPF said.
Facing Investigation For Criminal Trespass And Voyeurism
The NSF was subsequently arrested in connection with the alleged offences of criminal trespass and voyeurism. Police investigations remain ongoing.
Under Section 441 of Singapore’s Penal Code 1871, criminal trespass involves entering or remaining on property with the required unlawful intent. Those convicted of the offence can face up to three months’ imprisonment, a fine of up to S$1,500, or both.
Voyeurism carries more severe potential penalties. Under Singapore law, offenders can face imprisonment of up to two years, a fine, caning, or a combination of these punishments, depending on the circumstances and applicable provisions.
The case involves allegations, and the investigation has not yet concluded. Further details about the circumstances surrounding the incident have not been publicly disclosed.
