    Default Roof top intruders

    Yesterday a group of people were caught on the roof top of my block.
    I thought PUB has a ruling that by end of last year, all buildings should have locks to the roof top so as to minimize access to the water supply?

    Dunno what can be done to these people?

    As long as not dumping dead body out cyanide in water tank, don't have to bother lah. Actually if you want to do something, when they go up next time, just lock them upstairs after they get up to the roof and call the police immediately for cops to come down to arrest them.

    Actually a few times got people go up there and the management always say lock spoil.
    They replace the lock then spoil again.

    But be careful if call police, it consider unlawful restraint without lawful authority ...

    Usually these trespassers have no malicious intent. I would be more concerned about their safety than they contaminating the water.

    One of my condos had this problem with teenagers sneaking up to the roof top to smoke cigarettes. These are not bad kids but probably going through a rebellious phase. The MC has to do its job of ensuring rooftop access is restricted

    Agree with you, that most of the time, it is just harmless teenagers wanting privacy and not knowing that they are trespassing into restricted space.
    The first incident was 2 boys who went up with a roll of toilet paper. Yesterday was a group of 3 girls and a guy with a mattress.
    Goodness knows what they were up to.
    Yesterday's group- the ring leader was so defiant and argued with the guard and did not apologize. Apparently she thiought that the roof was a public space and had no inkling that they were not supposed to be up there.

    Hmmm... toilet paper, mattresses, girls, boys..... I think I have a fair idea what they were up to.

    IMHO, if they are not residents I would get the police involved. If they are residents make sure their parents are aware of their activities. In the first place, they should not be there, MCs should ensure that the rooftop is not frivously used as rendesvous point for disenchanted youths or amorous domestic help.
