What's that smell?

While a resident at Blk 785 was going about doing her household chores around 3pm today, she smelled something burning. It wasn't coming from anywhere in her home, so she decided to check outside. When she opened her door, she was greeted with smoke and a pungent smell. Sounds of people scurrying away could be heard.

By the time she unlocked her gate and went out, she saw the smoldering mess left behind at the staircase outside her home. A student in school uniform was spotted at the lift lobby, and upon being questioned he denied being involved, saying he was here to visit a friend, then he entered the lift and left.

A photograph of the scene was taken as shown below. It seems whoever was there was playing with fire, burning drink cans and plastic bottles. The police was then informed and they took the evidence back for investigation.


If you should see or hear any suspicious characters loitering outside your home, please do not hesitate to call the police, especially where fire and your safety is involved.
