A WARRANT of arrest has been issued for the alleged accomplice of Swiss national Oliver Fricker, who has been charged with trespass and the vandalism of an MRT train at SMRT's Changi depot.
In a statement yesterday, the police said that they had consulted the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) and applied for a warrant of arrest for Lloyd Dane Alexander, which the Subordinate Courts had granted.
The Briton, however, had left Singapore before the incident was reported to police on May 19. He is believed to have fled to Hong Kong.
The warrant came on the same day that Fricker was released on $100,000 bail while awaiting trial on charges that could see him jailed and caned. His passport has, however, been impounded to prevent him from leaving the country.
Business consultant Fricker, 32, had been charged on Saturday with cutting the fence of the depot and damaging public property.
He was also charged with vandalism by spraying paint on two carriages of an SMRT train, and trespass for entering the Changi depot without permission some time between late night on May 16 and the early hours of May 17.
