The Police have arrested a 54-year-old man for his suspected involvement in a case of cheating along Goldhill Avenue.
On 30 June 2018 at about 10.35pm, the Police received a report from a 58-year-old male victim who informed that he had been cheated of $80 by a man claiming that he was collecting donation on behalf of his company for a colleague who had passed away. The victim subsequently enquired with the company who confirmed that there was no such ongoing collection.
Through follow up investigations and ground enquiries, officers from Tanglin Police Division established the identity of the man and arrested him on 8 October 2018. Preliminary investigations revealed that the man is believed to be involved in other similar cases.
The man will be charged in court on 10 October 2018 with cheating under Section 420 of the Penal Code, Chapter 224, which is punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 10 years, and a fine.
