SINGAPORE: A 13-year-old girl has been arrested for
criminal breach of trust.
The girl, who is a student, had borrowed a mobile
phone from a stranger, claiming that her own phone was not
working.
To gain the stranger's trust, she also passed her
faulty mobile phone and wallet to the victim for safekeeping.
After making some phone calls, the mobile phone was then returned
to the owner.
Unknown to the victim, the suspect chalked up S$600 worth of online
credits using the victim's mobile phone line. These charges will be
tagged to the mobile line and billed to the subscriber.
The girl has been released on bail as investigations
continue.
