Man burgled Sentosa, Serangoon Gardens homes on first visit to S’pore; stole items worth $105k

A Chinese national, Huang Xiaozong, 41, committed burglaries in two affluent areas of Singapore—Sentosa and Serangoon Gardens—during his first visit to the country. After arriving in December 2025, he researched wealthy neighborhoods and targeted homes that appeared unoccupied. On December 6, he broke into a luxury hotel suite in Sentosa, stealing high-value jewelry totaling $58,000. Two days later, he burglarized a home in Serangoon Gardens, taking an additional $47,000 in valuables. His actions were discovered by a domestic helper and a housekeeper, leading to his arrest on December 8. Huang pleaded guilty to two counts of housebreaking and is scheduled to be sentenced on August 14.
