SINGAPORE: Police have arrested four youths, aged between 16 and 20, who are believed to be involved in at least three cases of motorcycle theft.

One of the suspects was arrested at Bukit Merah Lane 3 on Tuesday, after a youth reported to the Police that he had spotted his stolen motorcycle there.

The other three were arrested at their homes in Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Merah early Wednesday morning.

Police said their investigations showed that the youths were involved in motorcycle thefts in Bukit Panjang, Tiong Bahru and Bukit Merah.

The three stolen motorcycles have since been recovered.

The suspects will be charged in Court on Thursday.

If convicted, they could be jailed for up to seven years and fined.
