The arrests were made following police raids on two retail shops located within a shopping mall on Scotts Road, where authorities uncovered what is believed to be a counterfeit goods operation. The two female suspects are assisting authorities with investigations into the alleged sale and distribution of fake merchandise.
The operation resulted in the seizure of items with an estimated value exceeding $180,000. Investigators are examining the extent of the counterfeiting operation and determining how long the alleged illegal activity had been operating from the two retail locations.
The case is being handled by police commercial crime units, which regularly conduct operations targeting the sale of counterfeit goods in Singapore. Such activities are a concern for both legitimate retailers and consumers, as they undermine market integrity and consumer protection standards.
The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have not yet disclosed further details regarding the specific nature of the counterfeit goods or the scope of the operation. The two suspects are expected to be charged in court, pending the completion of police investigations.
