SINGAPORE: An Australian woman who allegedly stole a box of anti-ageing supplements at the transit area of Changi Airport earlier this year was arrested when she returned to Singapore several months later.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The police were alerted to the theft on May 7, when a box of supplements that cost S$507.30 (US$390) was discovered missing from the display shelf of a Guardian outlet in the transit area of Terminal 1.<\/p>\n
The suspect was seen on CCTV allegedly leaving the pharmacy outlet with the unpaid item on Apr 14. The police established her identity, but she had already left Singapore.<\/p>\n
On Nov 2, the 51-year-old woman returned to Singapore and was arrested at Changi Airport while in transit for another flight, the police said in a media release on Tuesday (Nov 11).<\/p>\n
She will be charged in court on Nov 12 for theft.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If found guilty, she faces a jail term of up to seven years, a fine, or both.<\/p>\n
The police said they take a serious view of shop thefts, and that offenders will be dealt with firmly.<\/p>\n
“The police will continue to work closely with stakeholders and the community to prevent and deter cases of shop theft,” they added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
