Recap
An Ang Mo Kio resident had a distressing experience upon returning home, finding her bicycle lying at the bottom of her HDB block at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1.
The incident took an alarming turn when she checked the CCTV footage, revealing that two children, a boy and a girl, were responsible for throwing her bicycle down from the 7th floor.
Found her bike on the ground floor
The resident’s day took an unexpected turn when she came home after sending her children off to school, only to discover her bicycle on the ground floor, in a mangled heap.
What perplexed her was the fact that it had been securely parked on the seventh floor earlier in the day. Realizing that something was amiss, she decided to delve into her CCTV footage outside her home for answers.
Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, the resident accessed the CCTV footage. What she saw left her astounded. In the video, two children were spotted outside her unit at approximately 1:36 pm, and their actions were far from innocent.
Innocent children or satan spawn?
The video footage revealed two children, a boy, and a girl. The boy was seen carrying a brick, which he ultimately threw down the building.
Afterward, the boy and girl decided to target the bicycles parked in the corridor of the resident’s unit. With a total disregard for safety, they swiftly picked up a bicycle and tossed it off the building, fleeing the scene while laughing.
Horrified at what she saw, the resident questioned that what the kids were doing were “totally dangerous and could have gotten someone badly injured.
