Holding a stack of cards, three men would withdraw cash an ATM just outside the Burlington Square building, then go to the back of the queue so they could make another withdrawal last Wednesday.

Occasionally, they would walk over to an ATM less than 100m away at Sim Lim Square and do the same. This went on for two hours.

Someone called the police.

After three hours of questioning at the scene, one of the men, a 27-year-old man, was arrested for fraudulent possession of four ATM cards.

Two other men are assisting in the investigation. One of the men told Lianhe Wanbao that the man who was arrested was their boss.

They were from Tamil Nadu, India, and had arrived in Singapore on Tuesday for a "business trip". He said the men needed to withdraw the money to buy old televisions and computers to be sold back in India.

The police also found $80,000 in the bag of one of the men, reported Wanbao. Of the $80,000 found in the bag, $30,000 was withdrawn from the ATMs while $50,000 was changed at a money changer.

Police investigations are ongoing.
