Police arrest 43 in Geylang vice syndicate crackdown

SINGAPORE: Officers from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on Wednesday arrested nine men and 34 women during a crackdown on a vice syndicate operating in Geylang.

Police said in a news release that those arrested were aged between 18 and 65, and they were nabbed at a terrace house in Joo Chiat.

Police seized the syndicate's records, several SIM cards, and about S$50,000 in Singapore and foreign currencies.

A saloon car believed to be used to ferry vice workers was also seized.

Police said 10 of the suspects will be charged in court on Thursday under the Women's Charter.

Each of them can be fined up to S$10,000 and jailed up to five years if found guilty.

Investigations are ongoing for the remaining suspects. - CNA/gn
