Over 20 teen cyclists cause disturbance near West Coast Park almost nightly, blare 'sirens' from phones when police arrives

A group of over 20 teenage bicyclists has been disturbing residents as they congregate and create a ruckus almost nightly near West Coast Park.

The teenagers were reportedly undeterred even after the police arrived, with someone from the group blaring the sound of police sirens from their phone in a purported act of defiance.

Nightly affair

One resident at Seahill Condo, Bryan (transliteration), 40, told Shin Min Daily News that he hears the group almost every night.

He had recently moved into the condo in August 2026 and resides on the 12th floor.

The group would hang around the nearby park till the wee hours and cause a ruckus, affecting the residents' rest.

The same thing happened last Friday when his friends had a gathering at his place.

"I looked out of the window and saw over 20 teenagers, no older than 20, congregating at the entrance of the car park along the road. Some hung around the nearby traffic light," Bryan said.

Noise, expletives and dangerous behaviour

Bryan's colleague, surnamed Mo (transliteration), 36, told Shin Min that the noise was loud.

From time to time, someone would shout and expletives could be heard, even from the higher floors of the residential building.

That evening, three police cars arrived, but the teenagers appeared unfazed. Instead, they grew more defiant.

At one point, someone from the group apparently started playing the sound of police sirens from their mobile phones.

Mo also pointed out that some of the teens were cycling without a helmet.

Cycling in a group, they took up two to three lanes.

They also ran the red light, causing vehicles to have to manoeuvre to avoid them.

Among them were also teens on personal mobility scooters and speeding on the road.
