SINGAPORE: A 24-year-old woman has been arrested for her alleged involvement in an air ticket scam.

The air tickets were not delivered after the victims made payment.

Police then arrested the suspect on Tuesday along St Michael’s Road.

Investigations are ongoing. If convicted, the suspect faces a jail term of up to 10 years, and a fine.
