SINGAPORE: Two men were arrested in Kuala Lumpur and returned to the Singapore police after they allegedly stole about S$134,000 from a money changer along Serangoon Road.

When presented with €25,000 and US$70,000 , one of the men placed the money into a bag with a number lock attached. But he left the bag at the money changer and said he was going to withdraw Singapore dollars for the currency exchange. When the two men did not return after a few hours, the money changer opened the black bag and discovered that only one €200 note, one €500 note, and one US$100 note were genuine. The other notes were purportedly counterfeit notes.

Through ground enquiries, police camera images and CCTV footage, the police established the identities of the two men on the day of the reported theft. However, they had left Singapore on the same day.
