一恶痞被逮后情况好转 超市盼警方增巡逻次数

连年遭恶痞骚扰的超市指出,感谢各方帮助,也希望警方增加更多定期巡逻次数。 以往曾遭恶痞骚扰,甚至导致员工担心人身安全而不敢上班的Angel Supermart超市,自周末其中一名54岁男子被逮捕后,情况已经好转。 超市周末(9月26日)在脸书帖文指出,感谢警方关注此事并将其中一名嫌犯逮捕。 然而,超市强调,他们并没有恶意要重伤任何人。“他有问题,我们希望他能够获得所需的帮助。但是请远离我们,我们只希望在没有安全威胁和恐惧的情况下,经营好我们的生意。” 帖文中提及“恶痞不只一人”,而这里又是个繁忙社区,因此促请警方能够更关注这个地方,并进行定期巡逻。 超市也强调他们在此事件上,并没有针对外国人或新加坡人。“事实上,就我们在所有组屋区的分行,所遇到的大多数困难情况都是来自本地人,外国人的事件通常在经过解释后都能够解决。” 超市在周日(9月27日)再次发出帖文,感谢警方亲临现场,和超市的团队交流,并且向超市承诺,会进行更多定期巡逻次数。“我们当然无限欢迎。”
