Seventeen more people have been arrested over their suspected involvement in the theft, misappropriation or disposal of Budget 2020 grocery vouchers.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the cases are likely to be unrelated and opportunistic in nature, said the police late on Friday night (Oct 16).
Eight men and six women aged between 16 and 67 were among those arrested for allegedly stealing the Budget 2020 grocery vouchers from letterboxes at Housing Board blocks islandwide.
These locations comprise residential blocks in Maude Road and Kitchener Road in Jalan Besar, Lengkok Bahru in Redhill, Lower Delta Road, Lorong 1 Toa Payoh, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1, Aljunied Crescent, Jalan Kayu, Kim Tian Place in Tiong Bahru and Marsiling Road.
Three teenagers – a male aged 17 and two females aged 16 and 18 – are among those arrested for the alleged theft of the vouchers and will be charged in court on Saturday.
A 28-year-old woman was also arrested for suspected involvement in assisting with the disposal of stolen vouchers. Investigations are ongoing.
