Between April and August 2022, the Police received several police reports concerning the failure to deliver goods and services from a business.
The suspect had purportedly told the victims to trade in used golf sets to purchase brand-new golf sets at a discounted price. Pursuant to this agreement, the victims traded in their used golf sets along with pre-payment for brand-new golf sets. Subsequently, the victims did not receive their golf sets.
Through extensive investigations, a 52-year-old man was identified as the suspect and investigations are ongoing against him for the offence of cheating.
Anyone found guilty of Cheating under Section 420 of the Penal Code 1871 may be punishable with an imprisonment term which may extend to 10 years, and a fine.
The Police have zero tolerance towards such criminal acts and will not hesitate to act against those who blatantly disregard the law.
