Man Charged for Making Prank Calls and Throwing Eggs at Police Cars

A 28 year old man is facing serious charges after allegedly making 18 prank calls to the police and vandalizing their vehicles. Davin Lian Ke Xiang appeared in court on March 25 2026 accused of a campaign of harassment that lasted over a month. Investigators found that he used a lost identity card to get a phone line which he then used to report fake crimes between February and March.

The most shocking part is that on three separate days in March when officers arrived at the scenes he reportedly waited for them to step out of their cars before throwing eggs at the police vehicles. In court the man claimed he only did it because he was feeling stressed and asked for a psychiatric checkup instead of being locked up. However the judge ordered him to be kept in remand for a week while the police finish their work. It turns out he was already in trouble with the law for earlier charges of trespassing and intimidation back in 2025 and was out on a remission order at the time. Now he faces a vandalism charge which in Singapore carries a penalty of up to three years in prison a fine and even caning. He’ll be back in court on April 1 to see what happens next.
