Teen and friend stranded on parapet after trying to enter Yishun flat through window
Two teens found themselves stranded on the parapet after attempting to enter a flat in Yishun through the window on Monday (Sept 28).A 15-year-old boy told Shin Min Daily News that his 13-year-old brother and his friend were rescued from the parapet.According to him, the pair were unable to enter their home after the electronic door lock ran out of power.They then tried to enter the flat through a window accessible from the staircase, but ended up getting trapped between the floors. "When we were notified about the incident and rushed home, we saw the police talking to them downstairs. Neither of them was hurt," the 15-year-old said. His younger brother's friend later returned home on his own. The family has since recharged the electronic door lock's battery.Responding to AsiaOne's queries, the Singapore Civil Defence Force said they received a call for assistance at Block 333A Yishun Street 31 at about 12.50pm on Monday. Upon SCDF's arrival, two persons were seen on a parapet between the second and third floors.
