Two arrested for using false contact information to borrow from
loansharks
SINGAPORE: Police arrested two men who are alleged
to have provided false contact information to obtain loans from
loan sharks.
The suspects, aged 36 and 59, were caught separately on July
14.
Police said the two cases were reported in June and July.
The suspects are believed to be debtors who obtained loans from
loan sharks by using their previous residential addresses.
This caused the new residents to face the brunt of the loan shark
harassment which were supposedly directed at them.
The suspects are also being investigated for failing to report the
change in their residential addresses under the National
Registration Act.
The offence carries a maximum fine of S$5,000 and a jail term of up
to five years.
