A Yishun resident lodged a police report after repeatedly finding strange litter \u2014 including tissue paper, flyers, and even brown sugar \u2014 scattered in the plant pot outside her home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jiang, a 46-year-old beautician who lives at Block 835 Yishun Street 81, told Shin Min Daily News that she moved into the area about six months ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The potted plant outside her home was a money tree, or Pachira aquatica<\/em>, which she kept tidy, and did not obstruct the corridor.\u00a0<\/p>\n Jiang told the Chinese daily she noticed litter began appearing in the plant pot, including tissue paper and torn advertising flyers, around February.<\/p>\n On April 8, she found finely shredded flyers tossed into the pot, which made it impossible for her to clean.\u00a0<\/p>\n CCTV footage showed a woman dressed in a sleeveless top and shorts walking past Jiang’s home at about 2pm that day carrying a bag.<\/p>\n As she walked past the home, the woman allegedly scattered the trash into Jiang’s plant pot.<\/p>\n Jiang printed a screengrab of the footage with warnings informing passers-by there was a camera and urging them not to litter.\u00a0<\/p>\n The littering stopped for a few days, but on Friday (April 24), Jiang said she found brown sugar poured into the pot which attracted a large number of ants.\u00a0<\/p>\n Jiang was furious and immediately filed a police report.\u00a0<\/p>\n She added that the money tree cost over $100 and could easily become an ant nest now, which means that she would have to replant it.<\/p>\n Police confirmed receiving the report and told Shin Min the case is under investigation.<\/p>\n [[nid:733044]]<\/p>\n
