'Blood stains on main door': Singaporean couple shaken after 'gangsters' attempt to break into JB Airbnb
One Singaporean couple was left shaken and jumpy in Johor Bahru after fending off intruders who tried breaking into their Airbnb rental.
In a post on Lemon8 last Saturday (May 18), a woman with the username Lilac said that the ordeal happened when she was lounging in a condo at Mount Austin.
Her boyfriend was sleeping with silicone ear plugs at that time, she said.
«Suddenly, I heard knocking at the opposite unit,» she said. «And then after a while, the knocking came to our door, which didn't stop after three repetitions.»
Initially suspecting it was a security guard or a delivery rider who had gone to the wrong unit, Lilac opened the door while using her foot behind as a latch.
«To my horror, there were a bunch of men dressed in open-collared black shirts and pants, like those typical gangsters you see in the movies,» said Lilac, adding that one of them tried to push the door.
«Thankfully, my flight or fight mentally kicked in and I managed to slam the door shut. I put my body weight against it until I heard the lock click shut.»
