A video of a tourist couple allegedly shoplifting at a fragrance store in Bussorah Street has gone viral, with netizens calling for them to be brought to justice.
The video of the incident, which took place on Oct 6 at about 2.30pm, was shared by a member of the staff of the unnamed store on Instagram page @sgfollowsall and Facebook page Singapore Incidents the next day.
The caption on the Instagram post says, “SHOP THEFT ALERT!!” and warned shop owners and businesses to be vigilant, adding that the shop’s boss had made a police report of the couple’s alleged theft.
