On Thursday, 16th of the month, a pawnshop reported to the police that a young man had sold them a gold ring on Monday, 14th of the month, and received 1050 Singapore dollars in exchange. However, the pawnshop later discovered that the gold content of the ring was significantly low, leading them to believe that it was a fake.

Upon receiving the report, the police immediately launched an investigation and were able to apprehend the 22-year-old suspect the very next day, on the 20th of the month. The suspect was then charged with fraud on the 21st of the month.

If convicted, the suspect could face a severe punishment of up to ten years in prison and a fine. It is important to note that the currency mentioned in the initial report was inaccurately stated as yuan, when it should have been Singapore dollars.

This incident serves as a reminder to be cautious and vigilant when conducting any kind of financial transaction, especially when dealing with valuable items such as gold. It is crucial to ensure that all transactions are legal and transparent to avoid any potential legal consequences.
