In a statement released on Aug 2, the police said they were alerted to a damaged bedroom window of a residential unit at Block 646 Woodlands Ring Road on July 28.

“The damage was believed to be caused by an impact from a projectile,” the police added.

Following ground enquiries by officers from the Woodlands Police Division, the suspect was identified and arrested on Aug 1.
