The police arrested a 27-year-old woman on December 22, 2024, for her alleged involvement in a loanshark harassment case in Woodlands. The incident was reported the day prior when graffiti was found sprayed on the wall beside a residential unit along Woodlands Street 41, accompanied by a debtor’s note left on the floor in front of the unit.

Using police camera footage and investigative efforts, officers from the Woodlands Police Division identified the suspect and apprehended her within four hours of the report. A debtor’s note was seized as evidence. Preliminary investigations indicate the suspect may be linked to multiple similar harassment cases across Singapore.



The suspect will be charged in court under the Moneylenders Act 2008 on December 23, 2024. First-time offenders convicted of loanshark harassment face penalties that include fines ranging from $5,000 to $50,000, imprisonment of up to five years, and up to six strokes of the cane.

The police reiterated their zero-tolerance stance on loanshark harassment activities, emphasizing severe consequences for individuals who vandalize property, disrupt public safety, or engage in any such activities.
