SINGAPORE: A total of 27 Singaporeans and seven Malaysians are wanted by the police for being part of a scam syndicate operating out of Cambodia.
The syndicate targets Singapore victims in government official impersonation scams, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said in a media release on Wednesday (Oct 29).
It is believed to be responsible for at least 438 cases involving losses of at least S$41 million (US$31.7 million), the police added.
These 34 suspects are currently out of Singapore.
SPF said it is working with its international counterparts, as well as Interpol, to locate and arrest them.
The suspects were identified after SPF conducted a joint operation with the Cambodian National Police on Sep 9, against a group believed to be operating from a scam compound in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Following the enforcement operation in Cambodia, 15 suspects - 12 Singaporeans, two Malaysians and one Philippine national - were arrested in Singapore.
They were charged on Sep 11 and Sep 12 for being members of a locally linked organised criminal group.
“Through further investigations and evidence gathered in Cambodia, SPF has identified an additional 27 Singaporeans and seven Malaysians who are allegedly members of the organised criminal group and believed to have operated out of the same scam compound in Phnom Penh, Cambodia,” said the police.
