Waterway Point Uniqlo store manager memorises 2 suspected shoplifters' faces, catches them when they came back

A diligent assistant store manager at Uniqlo's Waterway Point outlet, Ms Catherine, has been commended for her exceptional vigilance in identifying and apprehending two suspected shoplifters.

Catherine went above and beyond her duties by meticulously studying CCTV footage of an earlier shoplifting incident. This allowed her to memorise the facial features and physical attributes of the two individuals involved. Weeks later, when the same suspects returned to the Punggol store, Catherine immediately recognized them and took proactive action. She successfully detained the individuals, effectively preventing further criminal activity.

Punggol Neighbourhood Police Centre praised Catherine's brave initiative and strong commitment to crime prevention in a Facebook post on October 20. The police highlighted her exceptional memory, courage, and keen observation skills, stating that her actions demonstrated the highest standards of store security. Uniqlo echoed these sentiments, emphasizing their use of strategic CCTV coverage and staff vigilance to maintain a safe and secure shopping environment.
