The Police have arrested a 24-year-old man for his suspected involvement in a case of theft of two Rolex watches, worth a total of $44,500.
On 6 March 2021 at about 3.45pm, the Police received a report that a man had allegedly stolen two Rolex watches along Upper Boon Keng Road during a meet-up and fled.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the 24-year-old man had purportedly arranged to meet up with the victim under the guise of wanting to purchase both watches. While the man was checking on the watches, he allegedly ran off with the watches.
Through investigations and with the aid of images from CCTV footages, officers from Bedok Police Division and Police Operations Command Centre established the identity of the man and arrested him.
One of the two Rolex watches was recovered after it was found to be listed for sale online.
