The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Singapore Police Force (SPF) has arrested a 32-year-old Singaporean man, following his deportation from Thailand. He is believed to be a member of an Organised Criminal Group (OCG) based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, which was purportedly involved in Government Official Impersonation Scams targeting Singapore victims.

The OCG is believed to be responsible for at least 438 reported GOIS cases involving losses of at least S$41 million. The OCG operated from a scam compound in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and was disrupted during a joint operation by the SPF and the Cambodian National Police (CNP) on 9 September 2025. As part of ongoing investigations, the SPF had earlier issued prohibition of disposal orders and seized assets linked to the OCG.

The 32-year-old man, Lee Jian Hao, Jayen, was arrested by the Royal Thai Police (RTP) in Bangkok, Thailand. He was then handed over to the SPF on 4 December 2025. He was one of the remaining 31 suspects wanted by the SPF for being a part of an OCG. The photographs and details of the remaining 30 suspects at large are at Annex A. The arrest follows close collaboration and intelligence sharing between the SPF and the RTP. 

The man will be charged in court on 5 December 2025 for one count of facilitating the commission of a serious offence, in furtherance of the illegal purpose of a locally-linked OCG under Section 12(2)(b) of the Organised Crime Act 2015. The offence carries an imprisonment term of up to five years, a fine of up to $100,000, or both.

The SPF would like to extend our deepest appreciation to the RTP for their unwaveringsupport, and would continue to work closely with our foreign law enforcement partners to apprehend persons committing scams against Singaporeans. Anyone with information on their whereabouts should call the Police Hotline at 1800-255-0000 (or +65 6255 0000 for overseas callers) or submit information online at www.police.gov.sg/i-witness. All information received will be kept strictly confidential.
