They had appealed for information on the last two suspects then.

Not The Only One

And turns out, he wasn’t the only one arrested.

A 45-year-old man who was hiding him from the police was also arrested on the same day for harbouring a fugitive.

According to the SPF, “harbouring a fugitive” is a serious offence which might result in imprisonment and fines.

Besides that, both of them will also be charged for breaking the safe distancing measures under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations 2020.

So if your best friend were to beg you to let him stay until things die down, don’t.

Because as SPF has shown many, many times, you can run but you can’t hide.

The other nine suspects are also being investigated for three other charges:

• being members of an unlawful society
• unlawful assembly
• and rioting armed with deadly weapons

For being members of an unlawful society, they can be jailed up to three years, fined, or both.

For unlawful assembly, they can be jailed up to two years, fined, or both.

As for rioting with deadly weapons, they can be jailed for up to 10 years and caned.

One of them will also be investigated for hiding two other suspects from the police.

And because it’s impossible to fight with a 1-metre safe distance, they are also being investigated for breaching safe distancing measures.
