The Police also established that the man had failed to return to a welfare home, where he was supposed to be staying. He was thus arrested for failure to return to a welfare home under Section 16(c) Cap.78 of the Destitute Persons Act, and subsequently sent to the welfare home on the same day. The man was also issued with a written stern warning for failure to comply with elevated safe distancing measures.
The Police would like to remind members of the public to comply with the instructions of the Safe Distancing Ambassadors and Police officers, who are doing their duty to keep the public safe.
