Two to be charged over separate shop thefts at Changi Airport and Jewel

In the other case, police were alerted to a shop theft at a retail outlet in the transit area of Changi Airport Terminal 1 at about 11.40pm on Jun 11, 2026.

CCTV footage showed that the Polish woman had allegedly taken a bottle of perfume worth about S$410 at about 8.25pm and left the store without making payment, police said.

With the aid of CCTV footage, APD officers identified and arrested her in the transit area before her departure.

Further investigations found that the 50-year-old woman had also allegedly stolen another bottle of perfume worth about S$400 from a different retail outlet at about 10.55pm on the same day. Both items were recovered.

The man will be charged with one count of theft in dwelling, while the woman faces two counts of theft in dwelling.

If found guilty, they could face a jail term of up to seven years, a fine, or both.

Police said they take a serious stance against shop theft and will deal firmly with offenders.

“Offenders should not assume that they can evade detection simply by leaving Singapore after committing an offence,” they added.
