Facebook user Tian Zhu, shared screenshots from a CCTV recording at his minimart, showing the alleged shoplifters who stole a bottle of vodka and a cup of Maggi mashed potatoes from his shop.
He said that he is holding onto the video recording first, to give them a chance to return the stolen goods before he escalates the issue.
He also urged the thieves’ family and friends not to help them pay for the stolen products, saying it will not help them learn.
Here is what he said
Shop lifting at Bukit batok St 21 minimart, to avoid the whole video being posted and police report made,please come back to the minimart within the next 2 days. Bukit batok shops- Take note and be careful
Update:
At least 1 small absolute VODKA and Maggi cup mashed potato had been placed into the big white bag. Will hold onto the video first.
Please ask the 3 kids to come back to the shop asap if you know them. Thanks. Please don’t just make payment for them, they won’t learn anything.
