Arrests follow cross-border collaboration<\/h3>\n

Soh was arrested in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, by the Cambodian National Police (CNP).<\/p>\n

Sie was arrested in Khon Kaen, Thailand, during a raid by the Royal Thai Police (RTP).<\/p>\n

Their arrests came after SPF, RTP, and CNP took part in “close collaboration and intelligence-sharing”, SPF said.<\/p>\n

The syndicate is believed to be involved in government official impersonation scams targeting victims in Singapore, with at least 438 reported cases involving at least S$41 million in losses.<\/p>\n

It was uncovered during a joint SPF-CNP operation on 9 Sept, leading to the arrest of 15 suspects in Singapore — 12 Singaporeans, two Malaysians and one Filipina.<\/p>\n

SPF also issued prohibition of disposal orders and seized assets linked to the syndicate as part of ongoing investigations.<\/p>\n

25 S’poreans remain at large<\/h3>\n

However, SPF said on 29 Oct that it was looking for 34 more suspected members of the syndicate — 27 Singaporeans and seven Malaysians.<\/p>\n

They are believed to have operated out of the same scam compound in Phnom Penh.<\/p>\n

With the arrests of Soh and Sie, 25 Singaporean suspects remain at large, as well as the seven Malaysians.<\/p>\n

One of the Singaporeans is alleged mastermind Ng Wei Liang, 32.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information on the suspects’ whereabouts should call the SPF Hotline at 1800-255-0000 or submit it via the SPF I-Witness portal. All information received will be kept strictly confidential.<\/p>\n
