SINGAPORE – A man was charged with one count of weapon possession on April 8 after police responded to an incident involving someone firing projectiles and discovered what they described as a “substantial cache” of prohibited items in a Housing Board flat.
Court documents stated that Lee Chuan Sheng, 39, allegedly had three homemade crossbows and eight bows in a unit at Block 108 Potong Pasir Avenue 1 on April 6.
In an earlier statement, police said that officers also uncovered other items from the unit, including 119 arrows, 12 knives, four BB guns, three slingshots, two pneumatic rifles, a stun device and an extendable baton.
BB guns are designed to shoot metallic or plastic pellets, while pneumatic rifles use compressed air to fire projectiles.
