Police on Thursday arrested a couple suspected to have committed a series of scams involving car sales.
The victims were car dealers who were tricked into believing that the 27-year-old woman and 54-year-old man - intended to sell their car.
After agreeing on a selling price, the suspects would request for an advance payment, while agreeing to hand over the car at a later date.
Car dealers would then hand over the cash to the suspects only to discover later that the couple could not be contacted anymore, and the promised car undelivered.
Read the full report in The Straits Times on Friday (Nov 16).
