The police said that an unknown fast-moving craft heading towards the shoreline of Tanah Merah Coast Road was detected at 11.58pm the night before by the Coast Guard’s surveillance system.

The two men will be charged on Nov 21 for unlawful entry into Singapore. If found guilty, they may be jailed up to six months and receive at least three strokes of the cane.
The police said investigations are ongoing.
