Police on Saturday arrested a 32 year-old Singaporean in connection with the vandalism of the Cenotaph war memorial at the Esplanade Park.
The suspect was nabbed by Central Police Division officers at about 11.30am, in a Handy Road building just three days after the incident was reported, said the police.
"Extensive investigations and round the clock enquiries were conducted," said the spokesman. "Among the exhibits seized are a long-sleeved T-shirt, a pair of denim jeans, a pair of shoes, a 'tote' bag, and a pair of headphones for investigation."
The case was first reported on April 24 at 7.17am, by a member of public who saw that the war monument was found sprayed with graffiti.
