SINGAPORE: Two men are being investigated for making false police reports that they had been robbed.
Police from the Clementi Police Division said the two men in their twenties claimed to have been robbed along Penjuru Road by six unknown males.
They said the robbery took place on January 21 at around 3am.
They alleged that one of the suspects threatened them with a knife while the other suspects surrounded and robbed them of their wallets and mobile phones.
