Using police camera footage and investigative efforts, officers from the Woodlands Police Division identified the suspect and apprehended her within four hours of the report. A debtor’s note was seized as evidence. Preliminary investigations indicate the suspect may be linked to multiple similar harassment cases across Singapore.

The suspect will be charged in court under the Moneylenders Act 2008 on December 23, 2024. First-time offenders convicted of loanshark harassment face penalties that include fines ranging from $5,000 to $50,000, imprisonment of up to five years, and up to six strokes of the cane.

The police reiterated their zero-tolerance stance on loanshark harassment activities, emphasizing severe consequences for individuals who vandalize property, disrupt public safety, or engage in any such activities.

The situation escalated rapidly when the driver proposed going to a police station to settle the matter. When the male...
