SINGAPORE — A 34-year-old man who posted photos on social media of himself sniffing female undergarments and performing "lewd acts" along the common corridor of a Housing and Development Board block in Choa Chu Kang has been arrested.
Multiple police reports were lodged on Thursday (Aug 15) regarding three Instagram posts made by the man, the Singapore Police Force said in a statement on Friday.
His posts showed a photograph of a pair of black shorts, a photograph of a pink female undergarment, and a photograph of himself in Tampines with a pink female undergarment in his shirt pocket.
The incident was also brought to the attention of Tampines Group Representation Constituency Member of Parliament Baey Yam Keng on Twitter.
