At a time when many food and beverage operators are struggling to stay afloat, Tan Xiang Chai Chee, a coffeeshop that Singaporean host-actor Ben Yeo co-owns in Chai Chee, has been hit by two break-ins in just 10 days.<\/p>\n
The coffeeshop has five stalls, three of which are operated by tenants. The other two, a zi char stall and a drinks stall, are run by Yeo and his partners.<\/p>\n
Yeo’s stalls were unaffected but the burglar managed to steal more than S$900 from a cai fan (economy rice) stall during the first break-in. During the second attempt, the burglar failed to break into the same stall’s upgraded safe.<\/p>\n
Speaking to 8days.sg, the Mediacorp actor and entrepreneur said the break-ins took place in the wee hours of Jun 15 and Jun 25.<\/p>\n
CCTV footage from both incidents showed a masked man wearing a cap and gloves entering Yeo’s coffeeshop through the back door of the neighbouring beef noodle stall.<\/p>\n
The man appeared to search one of Yeo’s stalls before moving on to the cai fan stall, Pacific Veg Rice Porridge.<\/p>\n
Yeo said the burglar forced open a locked metal cabinet housing the stall’s safe during the first break-in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
