SINGAPORE said it will seek to extradite a British man accused of spray-painting a subway car with an alleged Swiss accomplice last month.
A court issued an arrest warrant for Lloyd Dane Alexander for allegedly breaking into a train depot and vandalizing a subway car on May 16 with Oliver Fricker of Switzerland, Singapore Police Force said yesterday in a statement.
Police said Alexander fled Singapore and authorities will seek to extradite him, depending on the extradition treaty Singapore has with the country where he is eventually located.
Police declined to give details on Alexander's age, profession or possible whereabouts. He likely fled to Hong Kong, the Straits Times reported yesterday without citing a source for the information.
A Singapore court charged Fricker, 33, with one count of trespassing and two counts of vandalism on Saturday. Fricker is free after posting bail of S$100,000 (US$71,000). A preliminary hearing is set for June 21.
Vandalism carries a fine of up to S$2,000 or up to three years in jail - in addition to three to eight strokes of a cane.
