Two persons, who allegedly stole on a combined 33 occasions from a Sheng Siong supermarket in Sembawang, are among 11 people to be charged in court on Nov 16 and 18 for their involvement in separate cases of shop theft.
In a news release on Sunday (Nov 15), police said the duo, a 26-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man, are believed to have stolen multiple items from Sheng Siong’s outlet along Sembawang Crescent.
The acts were purportedly committed between July 30 and Oct 15, with total losses amounting to about $960.
Police said the woman is believed to have been involved in all 33 cases, of which 21 were committed together with the man.
