Graffiti discovered on SMRT train in Bishan Depot

For the fourth time in four years and the second time this year alone, police were called to an SMRT depot yesterday to investigate a case of possible vandalism, reported The Sunday Times.

This time, the graffiti is believed to been spray painted in various colours on the exterior of a train in Bishan Depot. It was discovered yesterday morning before the train started service.

It was understood that no intrusion was detected at the premises. This means that although Bishan Depot has an electronic Fence Intrusion Detection System, it was not triggered, suggesting that the culprits did not break through the fence.

SMRT's Vice President of Corporate Information and Communications, Mr. Patrick Nathan, said the transport operator was investigating the incident and assisting the police. He declined to comment further.

Police officers went to Bishan Depot after receiving a call at about 6:40am. In the afternoon, the police confirmed they were investigating a case of vandalism and that investigations were ongoing.
