The Police will be charging a 50-year-old man in court on 6 March 2026 for his suspected involvement in two cases of mischief that disrupted the National Parks Board’s (NParks) crow population management operations.

On 2 March 2026, the Police were alerted to two separate cases where a man had allegedly damaged the crow traps deployed by NParks at the grass patch near Block 51 Havelock Road. This resulted in the escape of crows which had been trapped.

Through investigations and with the aid of CCTV footage, the identity of the man was established and arrested on 4 March 2026. 

The man will be charged with the offence of mischief causing disruption to the performance of a function of a public agency under Section 427(1)(b) of the Penal Code 1871. The offence carries an imprisonment term of up to 10 years, or with a fine, or both.

The Police take a serious view of such acts of mischief and will not hesitate to take firm action against those who damage public property or any apparatus deployed to serve public functions.
