A 35-year-old man has been arrested for his suspected involvement in a series of unauthorised transactions using stolen credit card information via a mobile wallet.
The incident came to light on Oct 14 when the police were alerted to possible fraudulent activities near Sentosa Gateway.

During the arrest, the police seized more than 280 USS tickets believed to have been purchased using the stolen credit card information, along with two SD cards, four drone equipment, and seven mobile phones.

The offence carries a potential jail term of up to 10 years and a fine.
The police remind the public that unauthorised use of another person's credit or debit card information is a serious crime and will be dealt with accordingly.
