Suspicious Activities
The following comment was posted on our Instagram Page.
“We’re across from the Honda dealership on the pacific highway, and we had someone break into our unit building two nights ago, ransacking our cars in our gated car park and then going up our fire escape and even tried to get into one of the apartments but luckily failed. Then we had another resident in our building who was followed home yesterday but fortunately my roommate who’s male arrived the same time as she was walking down on his motorbike. She was very on edge and took a video of him I think, I wonder if it’s all connected. Very scary stuff happening within our community within a very short amount of time.”
At this stage, ITC has no information that the two incidents are connected.
