A teenager who was accused of abetting the rooftop vandalism of a Toa Payoh Housing Board block was ordered to undergo 15 months' probation yesterday.

David William Graaskov, 18, had pleaded guilty to three of six charges - theft of four spray cans as well as criminal trespass at Marina Bay Suites and a construction site in Balestier.

District Judge Lim Keng Yeow also ordered Graaskov to stay indoors from 10pm to 6am during his probation period and to do 80 hours of community service. His parents, who were in court, were each bonded for $5,000 to ensure his good behaviour, reported The Straits Times online.

Four of his alleged accomplices - Boaz Koh Wen Jie, Reagan Tan Chang Zhi, Chay Nam Shen and Goh Rong Liang, all 18, will appear in court tomorrow.
