A British man has been charged for theft after being arrested more than two years after allegedly stealing a denim jacket from an airport shopping mall in Singapore. The 26-year-old was caught on August 15, this year while in transit at Changi Airport. The retail assistant at the mall noticed the missing jacket on August 14, 2024, and surveillance footage confirmed the man had removed it from the mannequin and left the store without payment.
The police identified and arrested the man while he was in transit at the airport, and he was charged on Tuesday. Meanwhile, a 50-year-old Polish woman was also arrested for theft on June 11, this year, for stealing two bottles of perfume. She was charged with two counts of theft and was arrested in the transit area before her departure. Under Singapore law, those convicted of theft can face up to seven years in jail.
