A shattered window at Anna’s Gourmet in Holland Village disrupts business operations after an unknown individual hurled a rock at the speciality store on Nov 11, according to The Straits Times.
The incident occurred at the establishment located in Chip Bee Gardens after the shop closed for the day on Nov 11. Anna Jaeger, owner of the store specialising in Central and Eastern European goods such as wine, caviar, and cheese, discovered the damage and shared details in an Instagram post on Nov 12.
“I am personally very disappointed to see such an act of vandalism… This is very ‘un-Singaporean’, after many years living and working here,” Jaeger wrote, as reported by The Straits Times.
Photographs accompanying the post revealed a large crack and a hole in the storefront glass, alongside a rock resting on the ground outside. A Chip Bee Gardens resident alerted the owner to the event, which took place at approximately 8pm.
Jaeger proceeded to the shop immediately upon notification and filed a police report that same evening. The Singapore Police Force confirmed in a media reply on Nov 13 that a report had been lodged and that officers were looking into the matter.
As of Nov 14, the damaged window remained unrepaired, though the business continued running as usual. Jaeger noted appreciation for supportive messages received from customers and Chip Bee Gardens residents.
