Two Teenagers to Face Charges for Roadblock Incidents

In Singapore, two teenagers will be charged in court for separate incidents involving roadblocks.

A 16-year-old boy is accused of riding a vehicle at high speed towards a roadblock on Commonwealth Avenue West.

He collided with a police officer and an LTA officer.

The 44-year-old LTA officer was severely injured, including a brain injury and a knee fracture.

The 28-year-old police officer had a head injury, abrasions, and hip pain. A head injury can cause blood to collect under the skin.

All three were taken to the hospital and were conscious.

The teenager will be charged with reckless driving and other offenses, including evading a roadblock.

If found guilty of the most serious charge, he could face one to five years in jail.

He could also be banned from driving any vehicle.

Another incident happened at the same roadblock.

A 15-year-old boy was riding an unregistered device on the road when he saw officers.

He rode onto the pavement, left the device, and ran away with another boy.

The police caught both boys.

The 15-year-old will be charged with several offenses, including evading a roadblock and riding an unregistered device.

The police advise the public to cooperate with officers at roadblocks.

The police will take strong action against anyone who endangers officers and the public by evading roadblocks.
