SINGAPORE \u2013 Two men and two women have been arrested for abduction and possession of a scheduled weapon, with one set to be charged in court on Aug 5.<\/p>\n
The police were alerted to a case of a man being threatened by a group of four people with a parang at a carpark in Canberra Street on Aug 4 at about 1.55am, they said in a statement in the early morning of Aug 5.<\/p>\n
Preliminary investigations showed that the victim was confronted by the group because of a dispute over a car rental agreement.<\/p>\n
A 38-year-old man from the group held a parang and threatened the victim, who was then asked to sit in the front passenger seat of his vehicle.<\/p>\n
He was driven to another location by the 38-year-old man, while the other man in the group, 36, sat in the rear.<\/p>\n
Based on information received, officers from Woodlands Police Division found the victim\u2019s vehicle. The 38-year-old man fled in the vehicle with both passengers when he saw the police, who chased the car.<\/p>\n
The victim\u2019s vehicle collided with a lamp post at the junction of Woodlands Avenue 7 and Woodlands Avenue 10.<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old man then ran away while the 38-year-old man was arrested at the scene, with a parang recovered in his possession.<\/p>\n The victim\u2019s vehicle collided with a lamp post at the junction of Woodlands Avenue 7 and Woodlands Avenue 10.<\/p>\n PHOTO: SINGAPORE POLICE FORCE<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The 36-year-old man and two women, aged 30 and 38, were arrested separately through follow-up investigations.<\/p>\n The 38-year-old man will be charged on Aug 5 with abduction and the possession of a scheduled weapon.<\/p>\n If convicted, he could be jailed, fined, caned or face a combination of these punishments, for both offences.<\/p>\n Investigations against the 36-year-old man and the two women are ongoing, said the police.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n SINGAPORE \u2013 Two men and two women have been arrested for abduction and possession of a scheduled weapon, with one set to be charged in…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":74363,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=74362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74362\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/74363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=74362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=74362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=74362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/picture><\/div>
