Police & Thief (also spelled as Police and Thief) was a Singaporean sitcom that aired on MediaCorp Channel 5 from 2004 to 2010. It was also the third and final locally produced English sitcom after Under One Roof and Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd . This sitcom was also similar in concept with the Chinese sitcom known as Family Combo (门当户对), where both neighbours who are fathers couldn't get along well and are always quarrelling with each other, being Moses Lim and Johnny Ng respectively, and coincidentally, Glenn Wong was also involved in this Chinese sitcom either. Besides, Family Combo was also Moses Lim's second Chinese sitcom after he previously starred as the main protagonist Tan Ah Teck in the popular and award-winning first locally produced English sitcom Under One Roof . Moreover, this sitcom also bears some similarities with another Singaporean sitcom known as ABC DJ , in which both families in that sitcom and this sitcom lived in a Toa Payoh HDB Flat. Furthermore, the comedy duo, being Suhaimi Yusof and Mark Lee, would later collaborate again and starred alongside together in Jack Neo movies Long Long Time Ago , Long Long Time Ago 2 , The Diam Diam Era and The Diam Diam Era Two .
