“As the matter has been reported to the police, any investigations into the incident would be handled by the Singapore Police Force,” the town council said, adding that it will continue to monitor the situation on the ground and render assistance where appropriate.

Women are volunteers searching for lost dog, says pet owner

However, a pet owner has since come forward to clarify the incident.

Desiree, 28, said the women are actually volunteers who were helping to search for her lost dog, Teh O.

She added that the women were holding a container of pet food in hopes of luring Teh O.

Teh O, a male cocker spaniel, was last seen at Block 402 Admiralty Link on May 4 at around 1am, Stomp earlier reported.

“The volunteers were walking around the blocks to listen for his barks or scratching sounds at the doors in case he was inside,” Desiree told Stomp on May 22.

“They did not spray any liquids whatsoever.”

She also shared images showing that lost-dog posters at nearby blocks had been torn or taken down, prompting volunteers to go door-to-door in search of Teh O amid concerns that someone might have taken him.

However, Desiree said the volunteers have since stopped their search efforts after failing to locate Teh O.
