A guy was caught red-handed on CCTV stealing money from a convenience store at Yishun (Jeya Spices).
Happening yesterday (3 June) at about 11.58am, the guy was caught on camera stealing the money when one of the staff had gone to the toilet, and another was busy with a coconut machine.
The guy then swept the plastic container containing the money clean, stuffing the money into his bag.
He even used the stolen money to make a purchase at the same shop that he stole from.
The owner of the mama shop said that he understands that life is not easy and had the guy explained his situation to him, he would’ve given it (the items?) to him for free.
He is appealing to the perpetrator to own up because he “don’t want to make a police report yet” and leave a “permanent stain on his record”.
The alleged perpetrator is described as being in his 20s and having a visible tattoo on his right forearm, and was seen with a woman believed to be his wife/girlfriend.
