The Police have arrested a 45-year-old man for his suspected involvement in a case of vandalism.

On 27 March 2022 at about 10.55pm, the Police were alerted to a case of vandalism at Block 9 North Bridge Road. Preliminary investigations revealed that the man had allegedly sprayed black paint on eight CCTV cameras and cut the wires of two of these cameras.

Through ground enquiries and with the aid of Police cameras, officers from Central Police Division established the identity of the man and arrested him on 29 March 2022.

The man will be charged in court on 30 March 2022 for vandalism under Section 3 of the Vandalism Act 1966. 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 of up to $2,000.

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.
