Naomi Neo shared additional footage showing the police conducting investigations at the scene to dispel rumors that the break-in was a staged prank.

The reason for that? She’s also known for playing pranks for content, so some people might think that this is just one of the pranks.

Officers from the Central Police Division swiftly launched an investigation using footage from the restaurant’s CCTV cameras and police cameras in the area.
