Two cyclists on mountain bikes went missing on Dec. 28 after losing their way in the Mandai forest.

They were found within four hours, according to a Facebook post by the Singapore Police Force (SPF).

Upon being informed of the situation at 1:04pm, officers from the Ang Mo Kio division, Jurong division, and Gurkha contingent were deployed to find the missing cyclists.

They were found unhurt, and brought to safety by 4:10pm.
