Singapore: A 71-year-old elderly woman has been arrested on Friday night (Jun 2, 2017) in Jalan Bukit Merah in relation to a killer litter case.
The woman has allegedly throwing items for almost two weeks reported by citizen journalism site Stomp.
A resident who preferred to be anonymous told Stomp:
“For about two weeks plus, she has been throwing things from her home, both from the main front entrance to the back of the utility room and the bedroom.”
“Rubbish fell all over the ground floor landing on the first floor and on the corridors of each floor.”
“Many residents and neighbours have lodged complaints to the National Environment Agency, Tanjong Pagar Town Council and to the Singapore Police Force.”
“They have all visited about twice. Each time whenever they come, she refuses to open the door so they can’t do anything and leave.”
“Two days ago, she even threw a packet of solid glass, as well as a packet of clay pots and full of other things down, that landed in front of the block.”
“Managed to shoot a video of her last night when she happened to come out of the house.”
She added that the last police report was made on Jun 2, 2017, night.
A neighbour, who has lived there for almost 40 years told Straits Times, the elderly woman’s behaviour surfaced only recently and believes it is a result of domestic issues.
The police were alerted to the case on Friday (Jun 2, 2017) and the elderly woman was subsequently arrested for a rash act.
“No injuries were reported and police investigations are ongoing.” said the Police.
