Three men charged over alleged MBS robbery where woman and child were locked on balcony


SINGAPORE: Three men accused of robbing a woman, and then locking her and her child on a balcony at Marina Bay Sands were charged in court on Wednesday (Jun 3).

Du Kai, 34, Li Yue, 29, and Ren Jiliang, 30, were each charged with one count of robbery with hurt at the State Courts. The Chinese nationals are said to have committed robbery at Marina Bay Sands Hotel on Monday, between 6.50pm and 6.56pm. While doing so, they are alleged to have grabbed the victim’s neck and pushed her.

According to preliminary investigations, the woman, 45, visited the area after agreeing to exchange S$50,000 (US$39,000) worth of cash for foreign currency with someone she spoke to on a messaging platform, the police said in an earlier press release.

The person, who claimed to offer foreign currency exchange services, instructed the victim to bring the cash there and said the exchanged amount would be deposited into her e-wallet.
