The_King Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 SINGAPORE: A man was arrested at a shop in Marina Bay Sands after he allegedly tried to swap a diamond ring worth S$318,000 (US$238,000) with a replica. The Singapore Police Force (SPF) said in a news release on Tuesday (Nov 21) that it was alerted to a case of cheating by sleight of hand at a shop along Bayfront Avenue on Monday afternoon. On the pretext of buying the diamond ring, the 43-year-old man held it in his left hand and diverted the staff’s attention to other rings. When the staff looked away, the man purportedly swapped the diamond ring with a replica using his right hand. “The staff detected the discrepancy when she realised the price tag of the replica ring was of a different texture and alerted the in-house security,” the police said. "The man was detained and found in possession of the diamond ring." The man was arrested on the spot. He will be charged on Wednesday with the offence of cheating, which carries a jail term of up to 10 years and a fine. Last week, a man was sentenced to two years and eight months' jail for working with two others to steal a three-carat diamond ring worth more than S$132,000 from a pawn shop in Lucky Plaza.
