A 26 year old man was arrested by the Singapore Police Force (SPF) for allegedly cheating his victim of a luxury watch worth $35,000.
He was also alleged to have tried to use his car to crash into a SPF officer who approached his car to engage him.
Police received report about cheating case
A report was made against the 26 year old man by his 28 year old victim claiming that the 26 year old had took off with the luxury watch price at around $35,000.
This was after they have met at Sengkang Square for a watch viewing and the 26 year old man decided not to purchase the watch.
He then allegedly returned a similar watch to the 28 year old man who realised that it is probably a counterfeit after returning home as the watch had a different serial number to the initial one.
Spotted at a carpark in Yishun Ring Road
SPF officers from the Ang Mo Kio Police Division, Police Operations Command Centre and Police Intelligence Department then started investigations and managed to discover the identity of the 26 year old man who was their primary suspect.
Officers then found the 26 year old man inside a car at a carpark at Yishun Ring Road on Wednesday around 3:15pm, and tried to engaged him by giving him instructions to come out of the car.
However, the 26 year old man allegedly ignored their instructions and attempted to hit one of them before fleeing the scene.
Luckily for the officer, he or she managed to react fast enough to prevent becoming a victim of a collision with the car.
Arrested later on the same day
The 26 year old man was then spotted again at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 after SPF officers conducted investigations and successfully arrested him.
He will also be investigated for alleged offences of committing a rash act and driving when he had already been banned from it.
He will be hauled up to court and faces charges of cheating and committing a rash act and driving under a ban.
If he is found guilty of cheating, he faces up to ten years imprisonment and a fine.
If he is found guilty of committing a rash act, he faces imprisonment of up to six months and/or a $2,500 fine.
If he is found guilty of driving while he is banned from doing so, he faces imprisonment of up to three years and/or fined up to $10,000.
