The Singapore police have arrested two men who were allegedly involved in multiple dine-and-dash cases, where they racked up over S$2,000 of unpaid bills.
The men, aged 20 and 23, had dined at restaurants between Mar. 5 and Apr. 13 with a group of others and they left without making payment.
The police received five reports from various restaurants made against the two men, according to a police news release.
Through ground enquiries and follow-up investigations, officers from the Central Police Division established the identities of the men and arrested them on Apr. 18.
Police investigations revealed that after the two men had ordered large amounts of food and drinks, the duo then informed the restaurant staff that payment would be made or purportedly pretended to make payment via a defunct bank card where the transaction was declined.
The two restaurants were SMÖÖbar, located on Prinsep Street and Jyu Gae Bistro, located at Bras Basah Road.
The Straits Times reported that it understands that the duo were the same two men who were involved in two dine-and-dash incidents reported in the media.
The duo dined at SMÖÖbar on Apr. 8, and failed to pay their S$275 bill.
The bar put up a Facebook post regarding the unpaid bill on Apr. 10.
The outstanding bill was paid on Apr. 13 after the bar lodged a police report.
Following the posts by SMÖÖbar, Jyu Gae Bistro shared that the same two customers failed to pay a bill totalling S$289.98 on Mar. 11.
Jyu Gae Bistro shared that it has identified the two individuals "after verification with SMÖÖbar," and found that the two men involved in both incidents were the same.
"These two individuals are habitual offenders who intentionally skip out on their bills," Jyu Gae Bistro claimed.
Jyu Gae Bistro has since also lodged a police report.
It is not known if the outstanding bill has been paid.
Police investigations are ongoing.
The offence of cheating with conspiracy carries an imprisonment term of up to 10 years and a fine.
