The Police have arrested a 50-year-old man for vandalism.
On 23 September 2021 at about 1.55pm, the Police were alerted to a case of vandalism at Blk 141 Yishun Ring Road. Preliminary investigations revealed that the 50-year-old man had allegedly sprayed paint on the walls inside Chong Pang Neighbourhood Police Post (NPP). The NPP is one of the redesigned NPPs which provide residents with round-the-clock access to police services via the self-help kiosks.
The man has been arrested for vandalism and suspected possession and consumption of controlled drugs. Police investigations are ongoing. The man will be remanded for further investigations and the Police will seek a court order to send him for psychiatric assessment.
The man will be charged in court on 24 September 2021 for vandalism under Section 3 of the Vandalism Act. The offence of vandalism carries a punishment with imprisonment of up to three years, caning with not less than three strokes and not more than eight strokes, and a fine.
The Police deal with those who commit such inconsiderate acts firmly, as such acts can inconvenience the public and may delay the Police’s response to persons in need.
