CCTVs capture big success


Loan sharks splashed red paint on the door and floor of this HDB flat. In the first nine months of 2009, there were about 13,800 cases that were linked to loansharking acts such as harassment, vandalism and even arson.

ELECTRONIC eyes have helped police nab an increasing number of loan shark runners, and put the squeeze on those involved in illegal moneylending and loan shark harassment.

Unlicensed moneylenders, thieves and molesters made up the bulk of those nabbed through footage from closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, police said yesterday.
