SINGAPORE - Police have arrested 12 women and a man for their suspected involvement in vice-related activities in residential areas.

The suspects, aged between 23 and 46, were nabbed last month when officers from Ang Mo Kio Police Division raided five residential units in the Kovan, Sembawang and Yishun areas.
