SINGAPORE - The teacher in her 40s who wanted to be known
only as Madam K, suspected a neighbouring five-room flat in Woodlands could be a front
for prostitution and was about to make a police report when a police raid
confirmed that it was being used as a brothel.
The raid was part of an island-wide operation in which 36
people were arrested at suspected brothels in the HDB heartland on Tuesday and
Wednesday.
The suspects, comprising two men and 34 women aged between
21 and 48, were allegedly involved in vice-related activities in residential
areas, the police said in a statement recently.
Officers from the Ang Mo Kio Division, Jurong Division and
Criminal Investigation Department (CID) raided multiple locations, including
Woodlands, Sembawang, Sengkang, Jurong West, Yishun, Chinatown and River
Valley.
Items such as boxes of condoms, lubricants, mobile phones,
cash, contraband cigarettes and work documents, believed to be forged, were
seized.
The statement said preliminary investigations revealed that
the women had advertised their sexual services online and carried out
vice-related activities in residential units.
The owners of the units will be investigated and the police
will also alert the Housing Board (HDB) for follow-up action.
