SINGAPORE - Two men were arrested following an accident in Boon Lay on Monday night.
The pair, aged 18 and 24, were arrested for suspected drug offences, possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and consorting with a person carrying an offensive weapon in a public place, said the police on Tuesday, in response to queries from The Straits Times.
The police said they were alerted to a hit-and-run involving two cars on Monday at 11pm along Boon Lay Place.
