Singapore requests U.K. extradite a Canadian accused of robbing a bank
LONDON — Authorities in Singapore say they’re working to have a Canadian man who is accused of robbing a bank in their country extradited from the United Kingdom.
A statement from Singapore’s Attorney General’s Chambers and its Ministry of Home Affairs says David James Roach was detained in London last week.
It says Roach is wanted in connection with a July 2016 robbery in which nearly $29,000 was stolen from a branch of the Standard Chartered Bank in Singapore.
The robbery was considered a rarity in Singapore, which has a low crime rate.
