An elderly man has been slammed for allegedly stealing a bike seat from a bicycle parked outside a residential unit in Ubi, after spending 30 seconds wriggling it out.
A 32-second video uploaded to Facebook group Complaint Singapore by user Nurputeri BidadariMu on April 6 shows an elderly man approaching a bike propped against the stairs leading to Ms Nurputeri’s home. The timestamp on the security footage indicates that it occurred at about 2.05pm on April 1.
The man — clad in a blue collared shirt and black slippers — then glances upwards, appearing to be looking at the security camera positioned outside the unit. In the next clip, he loiters around the area for about a minute, walking back and forth.
About two minutes later, he walks up to the bicycle and bends down to inspect the bike saddle. He then looks around before spending some 30 seconds removing the seat. He alternates between appearing to twist something beneath the seat and wriggling it out. The video ends with the man walking away with the bike seat in hand.
According to the caption, the incident occurred at Block 337 Ubi Avenue 1.
In the accompanying caption, Ms Nurputeri appealed for users to reach out if they recognised the culprit.
