An eatery in Sengkang, Rasa Rasa Singapore, previously posted a video showing a man openly and casually stealing an Ipad from their eatery on 30 April at about 3.30pm in the afternoon, appealing for witnesses for police investigations against the alleged thief.
Following the virality of the video, the eatery has since posted an update on their page on Saturday (6 May), sharing that the man has since turned in the iPad to the police.
