  Some new flats at City View @ Boon Keng (above) and River Vista @ Kallang were broken into by thieves who stole items such as television sets. They tampered with the number-combination locks securing the main doors.

   

  WITHIN weeks of getting their keys, some residents in two recently completed Housing Board developments in Bendemeer have had their new homes broken into.

  These flats were still being renovated, but electrical appliances such as television sets had been moved in, and these were the items the thieves got their hands on.

  seriously number combination locks are the easiest locks to unlock.

  Just use brute force method.

  LOL... Imagine you living in this home that has already been broken into, even before you have even moved in!
  
  Boon Keng and Kallang, with all the FTs and FWs loitering around nearby...
