With the acceleration of digitalisation during the pandemic, Mr Tan added that financial crime and fraud, largely cyber-enabled, are expected to continue to escalate. The police launched the third edition of its"smart clubbing" campaign in January, promoting a checklist for public entertainment outlets and encouraging them to comply with licensing conditions.
Cases on public transport typically involved upskirt photos being taken, while those at the other locations mainly involved perpetrators known to the victims, such as household members or tenants who peeped at them in toilets.There were 3,244 cases of shop theft last year, an increase of more than 20 per cent compared with the figure of 2,652 in 2021. This made up slightly more than 16 per cent of all physical crime cases.
