Aunties ‘loitering’ outside Admiralty units were volunteers searching for lost dog
An Admiralty resident was creeped out by what appeared to be two aunties allegedly spraying “unknown substances” on her doorstep as well as several other units.
According to CCTV footage shared by Stomper Tan, the incident took place at Block 401 Admiralty Link on May 12 at 10.39pm.
The video shows two women — one in a striped t-shirt and one in a blue top — pacing outside two units.
The woman in blue — who appears to be holding a clear bottle — is seen bending over and apparently spraying its contents on the doorstep of both units.
The Stomper and her neighbour are not the only affected units. Tan claimed that the women did this “to all front gates of all units”.
According to Tan, this is the first time she has encountered such an incident and the women are strangers to her. To date, she has not managed to find out what the substance in the bottle was.
“I do not feel safe as I do not know what is the substance they are spraying. It seems colourless,” Tan said.
The Stomper subsequently reported the matter to the police and shared feedback via the OneService app.
In response to a Stomp query, the police confirmed that a report was lodged and investigations are ongoing.
When contacted, Sembawang Town Council said it was “not in a position to comment on the identities of the individuals involved or the circumstances surrounding the incident”.
“As the matter has been reported to the police, any investigations into the incident would be handled by the Singapore Police Force,” the town council said, adding that it will continue to monitor the situation on the ground and render assistance where appropriate.
Women are volunteers searching for lost dog, says pet owner
However, a pet owner has since come forward to clarify the incident.
Desiree, 28, said the women are actually volunteers who were helping to search for her lost dog, Teh O.
She added that the women were holding a container of pet food in hopes of luring Teh O.
Teh O, a male cocker spaniel, was last seen at Block 402 Admiralty Link on May 4 at around 1am, Stomp earlier reported.
“The volunteers were walking around the blocks to listen for his barks or scratching sounds at the doors in case he was inside,” Desiree told Stomp on May 22.
“They did not spray any liquids whatsoever.”
She also shared images showing that lost-dog posters at nearby blocks had been torn or taken down, prompting volunteers to go door-to-door in search of Teh O amid concerns that someone might have taken him.
However, Desiree said the volunteers have since stopped their search efforts after failing to locate Teh O.
