Police said on Thursday night that they were alerted to the case at a residential unit on Segar Road at about 3.55pm.
The wall outside the flat and a electrical riser door next to the unit were sprayed with black spray and a debtor's note was affixed to the door.
A photograph of the alleged crime scene shared by the police shows "O$P$" sprayed on the wall and the riser's door.
Officers from Jurong Police Division detained and arrested the man when he allegedly returned to the scene to cause further damage by spraying another set of loanshark-related graffiti on the other side of the wall.
He will be charged in court on Friday with the offence of loanshark harassment.
If found guilty of the said offence, he could be fined up to $50,000, jailed up to five years, and receive up to six strokes of the cane.
The police warned would-be perpetrators that they have zero tolerance for loanshark harassment activities.
"Those who deliberately vandalise properties, cause annoyance and disrupt public safety, peace and security, will be dealt with severely in accordance with the law."
They also advised members of the public to stay away from loansharks and not work with or assist them in any way.
