KUALA LUMPUR — Singapore police today arrested a 30-year-old Malaysian woman who is believed to have stolen S$22,000 (RM52,876) from a man at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) in the island republic, the Singapore Straits Times reported.

According to the newspaper, a 38-year-old man reported to the police last December that his money amounting to S$22,000 had been stolen by a female suspect who had earlier befriended him at the RWS casino.

When the police arrived, the suspect was no longer at the scene, according to the report posted on the newspaper’s website this afternoon.

Officers from the Clementi Police Division carried out an extensive follow-up investigation, and arrested the suspect at the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) hotel early this morning.

If found guilty of the offence, the suspect could face seven years’ imprisonment and a fine.
