SINGAPORE: Four teenagers aged 13 to 14 years old were arrested on Sunday (Nov 13) in case of vandalism in Punggol.

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) told CNA on Monday that they were alerted to the incident at Block 325A Sumang Walk at 2.40am on Sunday.

Police investigations are ongoing.

CNA visited the site and saw that the car park at Block 325 Sumang Walk, along with a couple of motorcycles, was vandalised.

Writings and drawings in red were seen scrawled at the car park.

They include the "Up" and "Down" signs, which had their antonyms scribbled beneath.

Vulgarities were also seen scrawled on the walls of the car park.

The exercise corner around the estate was not spared, but CNA noticed that the paint looked slightly less pronounced, as though it had already been wiped.

A cleaner CNA spoke to said that the cleaners had painted the walls of Block 323A and cleaned the block's lift on Monday, which was also painted with vulgarities.

He also said that the vandalism at the car park will be removed on Monday.

CNA has contacted Pasir Ris-Punggol Town Council for comments.
