A 26-year-old man who sent out threatening hoax SMS messages has been arrested.
The Malaysian man is believed to have sent the messages to his colleagues over a work dispute. But to avoid detection, he had used spoofing technology to conceal his actual phone number.
Officers from the Bedok Police Division started investigating the case after the police received several reports about threatening SMS messages between October and December.
They eventually managed to identify the suspect and nabbed him early morning on Dec 7 near Pasir Ris Close.
