SINGAPORE – A 24-year-old woman was arrested on Friday (June 7) for failing to stop for immigration clearance at Woodlands Checkpoint.

In a statement on Friday, the police and the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said the woman was at the arrival car counter of the checkpoint at about 2am, when she refused to produce her travel document.

When the ICA officer stepped out of her counter to check on the situation, the woman suddenly stepped on the accelerator and drove off.

She damaged the drop-arm barrier in the process.

Another ICA officer immediately activated the alarm and the arrival car zone was locked down, before police and ICA officers arrested the woman.

If convicted of attempting to enter Singapore illegally, the woman could be jailed up to six months and get at least three strokes of the cane.

For damaging the drop-arm barrier, she could be fined up to $2,000, jailed up to three years and caned up to eight strokes for vandalism.
