More than 20 youths in bicycles disturb residents late at night, mock police officers by playing sirens
SINGAPORE: More than 20 teenagers rode bicycles and made noise until the early hours of the morning, disturbing nearby residents. With this, the residents called the police, but the teenagers did not stop but even mocked the authorities by playing police sirens to provoke them.
As reported by Shin Min Daily News, a resident who lives in West Coast Bay moved into a 12th-floor unit in the area last August. His unit is right across from the West Coast Park. The resident admitted that almost every night after he moved, a group of teenagers were gathering and making noise near the park, making it impossible for others to get a good rest.
Last November 6, the resident admitted that he was having a gathering at home with his colleagues when they heard noise downstairs. He then checked to see what was happening and discovered that more than 20 teenagers under the age of 20 gathered at the entrance of the roadside parking lot. Others were loitering near the traffic lights.
They said that the noise was very loud, and that the teenagers were shouting and even swearing. It was also observed that some of the teenagers were not wearing helmets, jaywalked, and some who were riding personal mobility devices violated regulations by riding on the road.
Afterwards, they declared that three police cars arrived, but the teenagers became even more aggressive. It was shared that some of the teenagers even played sirens on their phones.
