The Straits Times reported that seven luxury cars were found splashed with paint remover yesterday at a car workshop in the Redhill area, causing an estimated $80,000 in damage.
The cars - a Ferrari, a Volvo, two Audis and three Mercs - had been parked at Optima Werkz, a workshop in Kung Chong Road. The vehicles had not been broken into, and nothing was stolen from the workshop, said manager Samuel Sia, 37, who discovered the damaged vehicles when he arrived at work around 7:45am yesterday.
He called the police immediately and inspected the area before ringing up the affected customers to break the bad news. "Of course, they were angry, but not at us. They understand that this is an unfortunate incident... We will make sure the cars are restored to brand new condition," Mr. Sia said. The costs are likely to be covered by insurance.
Footage from the 50 surveillance cameras installed in the workshop has been handed over to the police, added Mr. Sia, who did not elaborate on what it revealed. Police are investigating the case of criminal trespass and mischief.
Mr. Sia said that the workshop, which has two other branches in Serangoon North and Upper Thomson, will beef up its security, and may hire a full-time guard to patrol the area.
