The Police have arrested a 32-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman for their alleged involvement in online sales of illegal streaming devices.
On 23 June 2025, officers from the Criminal Investigation Department conducted raids in the vicinity of Jalan Damai, Jalan Tenaga, Kaki Bukit Ave 4 and Kaki Bukit Ave 6, resulting in the arrests. During the operation, more than 100 units of illegal streaming devices, which enable the end-users to access unauthorised online content from illegal sources, were seized. The estimated street value of these devices is more than S$32,000. Police investigations are ongoing.
Under the Copyright Act 2021, infringement by making, dealing, importing, distributing, or offering of devices or services to access works without the authority of copyright owners carries a fine up to $100,000, an imprisonment term of up to five years, or both.
The Police take a serious view of intellectual property rights infringement and would like to remind the public that the distribution and sales of illegal streaming devices are serious offences. The Police will not hesitate to take tough action against perpetrators who profit at the expense of legitimate businesses and consumers.
During the raid, the 32-year-old man was also allegedly found to be in possession of several e-vaporisers and related components which is an offence under Sections 15(3)(a) and 16(3)(a) of the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act 1993. The man had been referred to the Health Sciences Authority for investigations.
