SINGAPORE: A 73-year-old man used sharp objects to scratch and
damage 16 taxis at the carpark of Resorts World Sentosa
(RWS).
Police said he will be charged with mischief.
The incident came to light in early April this year when two taxi
drivers reported that their taxis parked at the basement carpark of
RWS were scratched by unknown persons.
Subsequent checks by police with RWS revealed there were other
similar but unreported cases.
Together with RWS security personnel, police established the
identity of the suspect.
Police said investigations revealed the suspect had used various
sharp objects to scratch the paintwork of the taxis out of
frustration on multiple occasions.
The total repair cost to the damaged vehicles is valued at
approximately S$8,600.
If convicted, he is liable for jail of up to two years, a fine or
both.
