Dear
Resident,
CRIME ALERT: THEFT OF CABLES FROM LIFT UPGRADING
PROJECTS (LUP)
This
letter serves to alert you on a recent spate of cable thefts from
lift upgrading project sites. These cables are usually kept in
temporary stores such as switch rooms or pump rooms for use in lift
upgrading projects (LUP).
These switch rooms are usually secured with padlocks; however
there were instances where padlocks were found opened without any
tampering marks. Besides monetary losses, contractors
also had to endure significant inconvenience and delays to their
operations as such thefts impede the progress of upgrading
works.
If you have any information pertaining to the above cases, or
wish to report any suspicious persons carrying items such as
cutters, trolleys or large bags, loitering at the vicinity of the
void decks where lift upgrading projects are in progress, contact
the Police at Police hotline at 1800 – 255 0000
or dial “999” if urgent police assistance is
required.
Thank you and
regards.
