The Police have arrested three men, aged between 22 and 30, for their suspected involvement in a case of rioting along Orchard Road.
On 14 August 2022 at about 5.15am, the Police were alerted to a case of a fight along Orchard Road. All the suspects involved had fled prior to the Police’s arrival at the scene.
Through follow-up investigations and with the aid of images from Police cameras and CCTV footages, officers from the Criminal Investigation Department and Tanglin Police Division established the identities of the three men purportedly involved in the fight and arrested them. The Police also identified two men, aged 20 and 30, who are believed to have been attacked during the fight and had sustained minor injuries.
The three men will be charged in court on 16 August 2022 with rioting under Section 147 of the Penal Code 1871. The offence of rioting carries an imprisonment term of up to seven years and caning. Police investigations are ongoing.
The Police will not tolerate such brazen acts of violence and blatant disregard of the law. We will spare no effort to apprehend such offenders and deal with them in accordance with the law.
