Facebook user Shin RinRin De Silva shared how she received a notification about movement captured on her CCTV camera and caught a man loitering suspiciously outside her unit.
Here is what she said
Hi everyone, I would like to create awareness about a situation that happened to my daughter earlier in January 2023.
On the 9th of January, I received a notification on my CCTV camera of movement detected outside my unit. Initially, I ignored it because it was around the time my daughter arrived home from school.
However, I decided to check it as it kept pinging me a few more times.
From the videos, I noticed a man loitering in the corridor and from the timestamp, he appeared right behind my daughter as she entered the house.
I switched to the live feed and observed that he had been standing in the corridor for about 5 minutes.
He didn’t look like any of the same floor neighbours.
He then approached the shoe rack in an attempt to steal a pair of shoes, and through the 2-way audio function of the camera, I called out to him.
He was startled and tried to find the source of the voice, and before walking off, he dropped the shoes.
I became concerned because my daughter was alone at home and shared the videos that had been recorded to see if she knew the man.
Upon getting confirmation from her that she did not, I filed a police report, as I was not sure what his intentions were.
A couple of days later, while heading out to lunch with m daughter, we happened to take the lift and were shocked to see the man entering the lift on a lower floor.
I shielded my daughter and reported it to the IO immediately.
So if you are staying in the vicinity of Yishun Avenue 11, please be aware of your surroundings and stay safe.
This blurred video is him trying to peep into my neighbour’s unit to check if she is present.
