The accused lives on the nineth floor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Investigations revealed that on Feb 2, the victim discovered that the corridor wall and flower pots outside his home had been splashed with water. After checking CCTV footage, he saw the accused pouring a bucket of water onto the corridor outside his unit. He then made a police report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">About two weeks later, on Feb 18 at around 5pm, the accused further escalated his actions.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"my-lg md:my-xl\">\n<p><hr class=\"flex-1 border-grayscale-100 lg:hidden\"\/><span class=\"text-grayscale-400 text-14 leading-16 font-primary text-center lg:text-left p-sm\">Scroll to continue reading<\/span><\/p>\n<hr class=\"flex-1 border-grayscale-100 my-md\"\/>\n<hr class=\"my-md border-grayscale-100\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">He smashed the victim\u2019s window with a screwdriver, causing about $150 in damage. The accused initially left the scene, but later returned with a can of beer that he poured into the victim\u2019s home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">In a separate incident on Jan 6, the accused had also called the police claiming that someone had broken into his unit using a duplicate key.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">When officers arrived, they found no signs of forced entry. Instead, they discovered a \u201cPolice CCTV in operation\u201d notice pasted on his door.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">When questioned, the accused was unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for the notice, resulting in an additional offence under the Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"border-t border-primary-200 my-xl\"\/>\n<div class=\"flex flex-col gap-xl rounded-xl border border-primary-100 mt-xl\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stomp.sg\/assets\/stomp-comment-COLiWNMD.png\" alt=\"Stomp Comment\" class=\"absolute -mt-lg -ml-xs w-[203px] md:w-[255px]\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Have something to say?
