Loitering Youths - Block 766

On 26 Aug, at about 11am, we are heartened to hear 2 residents working together in alerting police of a youth, who was loitering along the corridor for a period of time. He was wearing a cap, with little visibility of his face. The youth was simply walking around and avoided eye contact when residents walked past.

How did the 2 residents work together ?

When they saw the suspicous person, they alerted each other by contacting via phone. Both families took turns to keep an eye on that person, loitering on staircase landing. The person, sensing that he is being watched, left in a hurry and the resident followed from a distance to see his whereabouts. Unfortunately, he was out of sight after reaching a crowded area.

Police came and descriptions and his last known whereabout was given Though the person was not apprehended for questioning, the working and friendship between the 2 residents were commendable.

It is our hope as RC to encourage stong bonding among neighbours, so that the home will be a safer place to live.
