SINGAPORE – Two Singaporean men were among four people arrested in Thailand for their involvement in operating a transnational vice syndicate.
In a press statement on Oct 29, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said that they collaborated with the Royal Thai Police (RTP) on a cross-border operation against a syndicate that recruited foreign women to send them to Singapore to work as vice workers.
The operation on Sept 15 led to the arrest of the two Singaporeans, aged 42 and 46, and two Thai women, aged 33 and 37.
Thailand’s The Nation newspaper reported that a 35-year-old Thai man was later also “summoned by investigators to be informed of charges”.
SPF said that the syndicate – which operated in the provinces of Rayong and Phitsanulok, as reported by the paper – has been dismantled and its vice activities in Singapore and Telegram groups have been shut down.
The police added in its release that anti-vice operations conducted from October 2025 to September 2026 in Singapore had led to the arrest of 19 vice workers.
SPF’s Specialised Crime Branch of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) then worked closely with RTP’s Technology Crime Suppression Division of the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) to share investigative findings related to the vice syndicate.
