A 21-year-old Australian woman, who allegedly stole from a shop in Changi Airport in June, was arrested upon her return to Singapore last week.<\/p>\n
She will be charged in court on Friday (July 24).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Police said in a news release on Thursday evening that the incident happened at about 11.30pm on June 11, at The Shilla Duty Free outlet located in the transit area of Terminal 1.<\/p>\n
According to the police, an employee at the outlet noticed a box of perfume, valued at $312.80, missing from the display shelf.<\/p>\n
Checks on closed circuit television (CCTV) footage show the woman taking the item from the display shelf and leaving without making payment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her identity was established and she was arrested upon her return on July 18.<\/p>\n
If found guilty of the offence of theft in dwelling, she could be jailed for up to seven years, fined, or both.<\/p>\n
The police also warned would-be perpetrators that they take a serious view of shop theft cases, adding that retailers are increasingly leveraging CCTV footages to lodge police reports against shoplifters, even when immediate apprehension is not possible.<\/p>\n
“This serves as a significant deterrent \u2013 even if offenders manage to evade detection at the time of the offence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“CCTV evidence greatly increases the likelihood of their eventual identification, and they will face the full brunt of the law,” the police said.<\/p>\n
