SINGAPORE – A 50-year-old man is due to be charged in court with theft on March 11 after he allegedly stole from a passenger on board a flight from Singapore to Jakarta.
In a statement on March 10, the police said they were alerted to a case of suspected theft on board the aircraft at about 6.20pm on Oct 2, 2025.
According to preliminary investigations, the man, who is a Chinese national, left his assigned seat and walked several rows ahead, where he allegedly removed the victim’s bag stored in the overhead compartment.
He carried the bag back to his seat, rummaged through its contents, and took cash amounting to $750 and three bank cards from the victim’s wallet before returning the bag to its original location.
