A 32-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly using illegally-obtained personal data to redeem more than 200 face masks from vending machines in Simei.
He is accused of taking the data from his previous job as a manpower recruiter at a recruitment firm, the police said on Friday (May 29).
Its statement added that earlier this week, the authorities had received reports from people who said they were unable to collect their Government-issued face masks from vending machines.
Checks showed the free masks had already been redeemed.
With the help of police cameras, officers from Bedok Police Division identified the man and arrested him on Thursday (May 28), the statement said.
Investigations showed that between Tuesday and Thursday, the suspect had redeemed more than 200 face masks from the 24-hour vending machines at Changi Simei Community Club.
He will be charged in court on Saturday with cheating and the retention of illegally obtained personal information said the police statement.
