Town council files police report after boys allegedly access HDB lift shaft in Woodlands
Sembawang Town Council said that it has made a police report.
A police report has been filed following allegations that a group of boys accessed a lift shaft in an HDB block in Woodlands, Singapore. According to TikTok videos, two boys were seen performing a twisting motion near a lift door and then opening the doors, exposing the lift cabin. The boys stepped inside the lift shaft and onto the lift cabin, with the boy in blue gesturing for the person filming to approach them.
They then exited the lift shaft, and the boy in blue closed the doors. A second video shows a person standing on top of the lift cabin before it moves upwards, stopping at the top of the shaft. The person then pulls open the lift doors and briefly peers inside before the lift moves downwards again. The person filming exits the lift shaft with two other boys, one wearing black and another in green.
Sembawang Town Council, which owns the HDB block, is aware of the incident and has reported it to the police. The matter is currently under investigation, and the council is unable to comment further due to ongoing police inquiries. Town officials emphasized their commitment to resident safety and their cooperation with the police in their ongoing investigation.
