Chinese tourist chases down man who allegedly stole his Louis Vuitton bag at Gardens by the Bay

A Chinese tourist visiting Singapore for the first time experienced a robbery at Gardens by the Bay on October 5th. According to Lao Hei Livefree, the tourist left his Louis Vuitton bag unattended while discussing plans with friends near the Supertree grove. Moments later, the bag was gone, and the tourist began chasing the alleged thief only to find that some of the bag’s contents had already been stolen.

The missing items included the tourist's passport, pocket camera, and livestreaming equipment. An eyewitness reportedly saw the thief with the pocket camera and other belongings stuffed into a sock. The tourist believes the thief was acting alone but may be part of a larger group, as the man he caught appeared to be collecting stolen items.

CCTV footage allegedly showed the man parking in a designated bus area, entering through an exit, exiting through an entrance, and even entering the vehicle to potentially stash something before leaving the park. The tourist hopes dashcam footage will help identify the getaway car. The Singapore Police Force confirmed that a report was lodged and investigations are ongoing.
