Singapore: Security officer to be charged for failure to dispose of fake bomb during exercise

A 46-year-old security officer’s failure to dispose of a fake improvised explosive device (IED) used in a simulation exercise led to police officers being activated to investigate a bomb threat.

Investigations by the police then led to the discovery of various other offences that the security officer allegedly committed. The security officer will be charged on Tuesday (April 9) with several crimes that could see him jailed if found guilty.
