A halal meat stall at a market in Yew Tee, Zameel-Enyyah Halal Store, had their shop’s phone (used to scan the QR code of CDC e-vouchers) stolen from their outlet.
The shop posted about the incident and revealed that because of the theft, they are unable to accept CDC e-vouchers, and they also revealed that the same phone was used to place their orders from their meat suppliers.
They shared CCTV footage of their stall, showing their phone being left on top of their meat display counter, as the workers went about their tasks.
Meanwhile, a man wearing a blue coloured Chelsea jersey was seen standing near the counter and reaching into the counter, grabbing the phone before checking out his “loot” while hiding behind another woman.
He then puts the phone into his pocket and acted as though nothing happened.
Here is what the shop said

Yesterday on 17 April 2023 at 10:44am, our shop’s handphone at 622 Choa Chu Kang Street 62 #01-19 was stolen.
That handphone is used to scan the QR code of CDC e-vouchers and also for us to place our orders to our meat/poultry suppliers. Please give our Management some time to replace a new handphone and reapply a new sim card so we can run our business as normal. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
If anyone has information on this person, please contact our Management.
