A 24-year-old man has been arrested in Malaysia on suspicion of stealing SGD900,000 (US$627,000) in casino chips from the Marina Bay Sands casino resort (pictured) in Singapore, reports an online news outlet of Singapore Press Holdings Ltd.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Singapore Police Force said that the man was arrested in Malaysia by officers from the Royal Malaysia Police.
