Police arrested seven male suspects, aged between 17 and 19, for two cases of rioting outside Zouk on Sunday.
While officers were deployed to a fighting incident along Jiak Kim Street reported at 3:56am, another similar case was reported along Kim Seng Road at about 4:57am. In both cases, the victims were being set upon by a group of suspects that fled after punching and kicking them.
Suspecting that the assailants could be the same for both the cases, the officers conducted extensive enquiries and looked into all the available CCTVs in the vicinity to establish the suspects' identities. The suspects were arrested at various locations on the same day.
Five of the suspects are accused of unlawful assembly and have been charged in court with one count of rioting each, which carries a maximum jail term of seven years and caning.
Investigations on the remaining two suspects are ongoing.
