Two Malaysian men accused of acting as money mules in Singapore were separately escorted back to the locations where they allegedly collected valuables from scam victims, as part of police investigations on Thursday (March 12).
The first suspect, 44-year-old Goh Ket Ming, arrived at Telok Blangah Rise at 10.03am.
Goh is alleged to have collected jewellery worth more than $28,000 from a victim of a government official impersonation scam, and passed the goods to unknown persons believed to be part of a transnational scam syndicate.
On Thursday morning, the Malaysian man was brought to a HDB block at Telok Blangah Rise. He kept his head lowered as he was led to the void deck but looked up at the investigating officer when questioned.
The police said on March 5 that Goh was arrested in Bishan after the victim who handed over jewellery to him lodged a police report on March 4.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the man would allegedly change into different attire when meeting his victims during collection operations.
Goh was charged in court on March 6 under the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act. His case will be heard again on March 13.
Took gold from scam victim’s car
Another Malaysian man arrested for allegedly acting as a runner for a scam syndicate within two days of Goh was also taken back to the crime scene at Upper Boon Keng Road on Thursday morning.
