A SWISS national who works in Singapore was charged in court
yesterday with trespass and the vandalism of an MRT train at the
Changi depot.
Oliver Fricker, 32, a business consultant, was charged with
cutting the fence of the depot and damaging public property.
He was also charged with vandalism by spraying paint on two
carriages of an SMRT train, and trespass for entering the Changi
depot without permission some time between the late night of May 16
and the early hours of May 17.
Also named on the charge sheet was British citizen Lloyd Dane
Alexander. It is not known if he is still in Singapore, and the
police are still investigating.
The duo is believed to have cut through the fence of the depot
along Xilin Avenue, although it was topped with barbed wire.
Once inside the depot, they spray-painted graffiti on one side
of a train. The graffiti had the words 'McKoy Banos', which is
believed to be the signature of two persons who have vandalised
trains in other countries too.
