SINGAPORE: More motorists have been caught tampering with their parking coupons.

And most of the offences are committed in housing estates.

This is according to figures by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).

The HDB caught 400 offenders last year, compared to an average of 150 between 2007 and 2011.

The URA caught more than 1,500 offenders last year, compared to an average of 800 between 2007 and 2011.

The authorities say tampering with coupons is tantamount to cheating.

Those who are caught are liable to fines of between S$80 and S$300.
