SINGAPORE \u2013 Two men were arrested on Oct 9 after they were caught trespassing into the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix event area.<\/p>\n
In a statement on Oct 10, the police said they received a report at around 3pm that day that a man had been detained by staff members within the event area along Republic Boulevard.<\/p>\n
Preliminary investigations found that at around 1.45pm, the two men had attempted to enter an F1 Singapore Grand Prix event area along Temasek Avenue without valid tickets.<\/p>\n
At the entrance, one of the men, aged 35, was denied entry after his ticket was found to be invalid.<\/p>\n
The other man, aged 39, managed to enter the event area despite holding onto an invalid ticket, said the police.<\/p>\n
The 39-year-old later gained unauthorised access to a restricted area meant for staff members and performing artistes. He was then located and detained within the event area by staff members, and arrested by the police at scene.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the 35-year-old was arrested by the police along Temasek Boulevard.<\/p>\n
Both men are known to each other, said the police.<\/p>\n
The 39-year-old will be charged in court on Oct 10 with two counts of criminal trespass. If found guilty, he could be jailed up to three months, fined up to $1,500 or both.<\/p>\n
Investigations against the 35-year-old are ongoing.<\/p>\n
The police said they take a serious view of unauthorised entry into restricted areas at major events, as such acts may compromise the safety and security of the event.<\/p>\n
They added that members of the public should comply with all access control measures by event organisers and enter only areas for which they have valid authorisation.<\/p>\n
Offenders will be dealt with firmly in accordance with the law, added the police.<\/p>\n
The Singapore Grand Prix will take place from Oct 9 to 11 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.<\/p>\n
