10 suspects arrested for using forged documents
Posted: 17 May 2012 1255 hrs
SINGAPORE: Police have arrested six men and four women suspected of using forged documents to apply for credit facilities from a local bank.
Between March and May this year, police received two reports from the bank, informing them that a number of applicants had used fictitious credentials, such as forged CPF statements and pay slips, to apply for credit facilities.
The bank found out about the forgeries when it checked the credit accounts that were in arrears.
Following the reports, the police carried out a series of operations between March 14 and May 10 and arrested 10 suspects.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects would withdraw the full amount from the bank's credit facilities upon approval.
A portion of the money would be given to the suspects who had helped to forge the documents.
