"Teens charged with possessing choppers shouldn't be out on bail"


A group of four teenagers have been released on bail yesterday, after they were arrested in a Pasir Ris chalet for possessing two choppers. Their arrest comes in the wake of recent slashings at Bukit Panjang and Downtown East.

STOMPer StopAnimalAbuse was appalled by their audacity and felt that the youths should not be out on bail.

The STOMPer said:

"I am appalled by the audacity shown by these seemingly innocent looking teenagers.

"I wonder why the police let them out on bail so easily.

"From the look on their faces, they do not show any signs of remorse or fear at all.

"So what if there is a curfew? The curfew time of 10pm to 6am is too soft and doesn't send a stern enough message to these gangsters.

"Anything can happen between 6am to 10pm. Why do the law enforcement team allow these walking time bombs back on the streets before they were punished?"

Muhammad Faiz Muhammad Effendy and Nurul Aisyah Osman, both 18, were charged with carrying an offensive weapon under the Corrosive and Explosive Substances and Offensive Weapons Act, where an 'offensive weapon' includes any instrument which is likely to cause hurt if used as a weapon.

Muhammad Faiz is alleged to have hidden a chopper under his shirt while Nurul Aisyah apparently had another chopper in her handbag.

Azad Khan Azlan, 17, a student, was charged with consorting with persons carrying offensive weapons.

Another girl, who cannot be named as she is a minor, also faces the same charge.

All were arrested at about 12:05am last Saturday at the Costa Sands Resort in Pasir Ris.
