Bike thrown down 13 floors
By Esther Tan
FOUR youths pitched a bicycle down 13 storeys from a block in West Coast Drive and filmed the entire process on their mobile phone.

The bicycle smashed on the ground, but luckily did not hit anyone.

The four were charged on Monday with committing a rash act which endangered the safety of others.

They all pleaded guilty.

Community Court Judge Soh Tze Bian called for probation reports for three of the boys - Johannis Johari, 17, Lionel Koh Yao Sheng, 19, and Muhammad Juffri Jumat, 18. The trio, all first-time offenders, will be sentenced on April 30.

The fourth member of the group, Suriaamin Mohamed Jabal, 17, will be back in court on Tuesday.

For committing a rash act, they each face up to six months' jail or a $2,500 fine or both.
