Two men, aged 35 and 39, were on Friday (Oct 9) arrested for alleged criminal trespass after they allegedly entered the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix (SGP) event area without valid tickets.
Police said in a statement on Saturday morning that they received a report that a man had been detained by SGP staff within the event area along Temasek Boulevard at about 3pm on Friday.
Preliminary investigations later showed that two men — who are acquainted — had attempted to enter the event area along Temasek Avenue at about 1.45pm without valid tickets.
The 35-year-old man was denied entry at the entrance after his ticket was found to be invalid, while the 39-year-old man managed to enter the event area despite holding an invalid ticket.
He is said to have subsequently gained unauthorised access to a restricted area meant for SGP staff and performing artistes.
Staff members later located the man and detained him within the event area. He was handed over to the police and arrested at the scene.
Meanwhile, the 35-year-old man was subsequently arrested by the police along Temasek Boulevard.
The 39-year-old man will be charged in court on Saturday with criminal trespass, an offence which carries a fine of up to $1,500, jail of up to three months, or both.
Investigations into the 35-year-old man are still ongoing.
The police said they take a serious view of unauthorised entry into restricted areas at major events, as such acts may compromise the safety and security of the event.
"Members of the public should comply with all access control measures by event organisers and only enter areas for which they have valid authorisation.
"Offenders will be dealt with firmly in accordance with the law," they added.
两名男子，年龄分别为 35 岁和 39 岁，于周五（10 月 9 日）因涉嫌非法侵入被捕，据称他们没有有效门票就进入了新加坡一级方程式大奖赛 (SGP) 赛事区域。
警方周六上午发表声明称，他们接到报告称，周五下午3点左右，一名男子在淡马锡大道活动区域内被新加坡警察部队工作人员拘留。
初步调查显示，两名彼此认识的男子于下午 1 点 45 分左右试图在没有有效门票的情况下进入淡马锡大道上的活动区域。
一名 35 岁男子因门票无效而被拒绝入场，而一名 39 岁男子尽管持有无效门票，却设法进入了活动区域。
据说他随后未经授权进入了新加坡政府工作人员和表演艺术家专用的限制区域。
工作人员随后在活动区域内找到了该男子并将其拘留。他被移交给警方，并在现场被逮捕。
与此同时，这名35岁的男子随后在淡马锡大道被警方逮捕。
这名 39 岁的男子将于周六在法庭上被控非法侵入罪，该罪行最高可处以 1500 美元的罚款、三个月的监禁，或两者并罚。
对这名35岁男子的调查仍在进行中。
警方表示，他们严肃对待未经授权擅自进入大型活动限制区域的行为，因为此类行为可能会危及活动的安全保障。
“公众应遵守活动组织者的所有准入控制措施，并且只能进入他们拥有有效授权的区域。
他们补充说：“违法者将依法受到严厉惩处。”
