SINGAPORE: A team of auxiliary police officers was travelling along Stamford Road in the wee hours of Friday (May 3) when they discovered a man clinging to the rear door of their moving armoured vehicle.
The man, 22, was later arrested for the offence of drunkenness in public places causing annoyance.
According to the Singapore Police Force (SPF), the officers were loading cash cartridges into their vehicle along Queen Street at around 3am when a man, who appeared intoxicated, wanted to enter the vehicle.
The officers told the man to leave before driving off.
“While the officers were travelling along Stamford Road, they discovered the man was clinging on to the rear vehicle door for about 850 metres between Victoria Street and Stamford Road,” said SPF.
“The officers alighted from the vehicle and the man immediately stepped down from the vehicle and walked away.”
The police were alerted to the incident at about 4.20am and the arrest was made within two hours along Stamford Road.
The man will be charged in court on Saturday.
The offence of drunkenness in public places causing annoyance carries a jail term of up to six months, a fine of up to S$1,000 (US$740), or both.
