SINGAPORE — A 48-year-old man was charged on Monday (May 2) in the State Courts with stealing a Volvo car along Turf Club Road in the early hours of the morning. 

At around 5.45am on Saturday, Halik Rifai allegedly committed the theft of a silver Volvo S80 at a car dealer, Reliance by C&E, at The Grandstand. The car is valued at S$41,459.

The police said in a statement on Sunday that they received a report at 11.52am on Saturday about a car stolen from Turf Club Road and the suspect was arrested at East Coast Park within 12 hours, after extensive ground enquiries.
