A man was caught on CCTV stealing an Ipad from a coffeeshop, Rasa Rasa at Sengkang, on 30 April at about 3.32 pm in the afternoon.
Rasa Rasa posted the video from their CCTV camera on their social media platforms, appealing for witnesses to come forward.
The man was seen in the video walking into the coffeeshop and placing his bag down at a table before going to the drinks counter to buy a drink.
He then paid for his drink before opening the cover of the iPad, flipping it back before sipping from his drink.
The counter staff then came back with the man’s change, and he then placed the money on top of the iPad before taking it with him and leaving the counter.
