A man’s early morning nap in a van was unexpectedly cut short when police woke him up and arrested him after discovering suspected drugs, a vape, and weapons in his possession.
Shin Min Daily News reported that the incident happened at about 5.05am on Aug 13 along the road in front of Block 333 Yishun Street 31 — a multi-storey carpark.
Mr Lin, a 76-year-old reader, said he peered out of his window at around 7am and noticed several police cars below the block, along with a lorry parked by the roadside.
He recalled seeing officers unloading several items from the lorry and placing them on the grass verge nearby, which he believed were being collected as evidence.
“I saw them searching for some time, but it was difficult to see clearly as I live on a high floor,” he added.

When Shin Min visited the scene, the lorry was still parked by the roadside. As the road is a two-way street, two workers, apparently from a nearby construction site, were helping to direct traffic.
The lorry is understood to be a vehicle from van rental agency LoadUp, which provides vehicle rental services from $6 an hour.
At least four police vehicles and a crime scene investigation vehicle were observed at the scene. Most residents interviewed said they only saw the vehicles below the block and did not catch sight of the van driver.
