Bike‑to‑Brig of Trouble: Two Gents, One Mystery Weapon
What Went Down
Police are hot on the heels of two young men after a viral clip showed what looked a lot like a shotgun—but with a dash of mystery that’s left everyone on edge.
The Footage
On Saturday morning (June 4), a 21‑year‑old uploaded a video that turned a 19‑year‑old into an accidental “weapon‑owner.” The clip spread like wildfire, and the bait was pulled by the rope of public alarm.
How It Gained Attention
- 24‑hour buzz online—people stopped scrolling to watch the clip.
- Criminal Investigation Department + Woodlands Police Division mobilized like a superhero squad.
- Suspects identified based on eyewitness tags and a suspiciously flashy object.
Current Status
Police are now interrogating the two guys to get to the bottom of why one of them was brandishing something that could be a real “shotgun.” No bombshells yet—just a mystery that got a lot of thumbs‑up on the feeds.
Police Confirm Toy Gun at the Scene
In a quick update this Monday, police officials clarified that the item found was not a real firearm but a toy gun. The revelation came during preliminary investigations, which were carried out as soon as the mystery item was discovered.
Why a Toy Gun Is Still a Big Deal
Even though it looks harmless, a toy gun can’t just pop up on the street. It’s listed as a controlled good when it comes to imports, meaning each toy gun must have a prior clearance from the Police Licensing & Regulatory Department under their Arms & Explosives division. Without that approval, the toy gun would be considered illegal to bring into Singapore.
Current Situation
- Review in progress: Investigators are still piecing together how the toy gun ended up where it did.
- Legal oversight: Authorities are checking whether the necessary import permissions were obtained.
The police have issued a statement: “Investigations are ongoing,” and they’ll keep the public posted as more details unfold. If you ever see a suspect-looking toy gun, remember it’s not just a harmless plaything—there’s a whole legal process behind it.
