SINGAPORE: Police
arrested a 25-year-old woman who is believed to have painted "MY
GRANDFATHER ROAD" on several roads in Singapore.
Between 17 and
21 May, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) found the words "MY
GRANDFATHER ROAD" being painted on some roads along Robinson Road and
Maxwell Road and reported the matter to the Police.
LTA also
reported that circular stickers printed with captions were pasted on a
pavement around Lau Pa Sat and on a road traffic sign along Robinson
Road.
Officers from Central Police Division, with the support
from Police Intelligence Department, investigated the matter and
arrested the woman suspect at her home in eastern Singapore on Sunday.
The officers also found several paint-stained stencils and several pieces of stickers printed with captions.
These items were seized for investigation.
Police
are investigating and are working with LTA on earlier reports of round
stickers found affixed on other pedestrian crossings at various places.
A person who is convicted of vandalism shall be punished with a fine of up to S$2,000, or jail up to three years and caning.
Police said they take a serious view of such irresponsible actions and warned that offenders will be dealt with severely.
