A man swiped $1,000 worth of necklaces from a jewellery stall in Woodlands when the stall owner went for a quick toilet break.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the police said they were alerted to a case of theft at Block 303 Woodlands Street 31 on March 24 at 11.30am.<\/p>\n
A shop assistant at a nearby hardware store, identified as Ding, told Shin Min Daily News that the jewellery stall owner had gone to the restroom and covered the goods with a cloth. \u00a0<\/p>\n
When the owner returned some five minutes later and checked the inventory, the owner found that five silver necklaces, amounting to about $1,000, were missing, reported the Chinese daily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The owner then called the police and asked Ding for CCTV footage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a video posted by Instagram account @sgfollowsall on March 27, CCTV footage shows a man dressed in a white shirt and black trousers loitering near a temporarily unmanned stall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He can be seen hovering around the table, covered in a blue sheet of plastic, before lifting the sheet and grabbing a handful of what appears to be the stolen necklaces.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A 58-year-old man is assisting with ongoing investigations, said the police.\u00a0<\/p>\n
