The Police have arrested two men, aged 27 and 32, for their suspected involvement in a series of unauthorised credit card transactions.
On 8 July 2025 at about 2.20pm, the Police were alerted to multiple cases of unauthorised credit card transactions believed to be used to purchase e-vouchers at Great World City and The Seletar Mall. Through internal investigations by the mall operator, it was discovered that two loyalty programme members had allegedly made fraudulent transactions using 16 different credit cards, executing 22 transactions to obtain e-vouchers worth more than $46,000.
Through follow-up investigations and with the aid of images from CCTVs, officers from Tanglin Police Division established the identities of the two men and arrested them within 32 hours. Preliminary investigations revealed that the men had allegedly redeemed the e-vouchers at various retail outlets to purchase high-value electronic items worth more than $45,000. Various items including mobile phone accessories and cash amounting to more than $600 were seized as case exhibits.
Both men will be charged in court on 11 July 2025 with the offence of conspiracy to cheat under Section 420 read with Section 109 of the Penal Code 1871. The offence carries an imprisonment term of up to 10 years and a fine.
