SINGAPORE: A 47-year-old man will be charged on Thursday (Oct 8) over a series of perfume thefts at Changi Airport, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The thefts date back to November last year and involved almost S$1,410 worth of perfume, the police said in a news release.<\/p>\n
SPF said it was alerted to a case of theft at the airport on Nov 5, 2025, after a retail assistant discovered that a box of perfume was missing from a shop’s display shelf.<\/p>\n
Closed-circuit television footage showed that the American had stolen a box of perfume valued at S$331 (US$259) from the shop in Changi Airport’s Terminal 3 transit area at about 7.38pm on Nov 4, 2025, SPF said.<\/p>\n
Further investigations revealed that he stole three more boxes of perfume, which were worth S$646 in total, from two shops in the Terminal 2 transit area later that day, the police said.<\/p>\n
Officers from the Airport Police Division managed to identify the man, but he had already departed Singapore, they added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man returned to Changi Airport for a connecting flight on the morning of Apr 24 this year. Preliminary investigations revealed that he stole two more boxes of perfume from two shops on this occasion, SPF said.<\/p>\n
The first box he stole at about 7.15am was priced at S$236.90 and the second one taken around six minutes later was valued at S$195.40, said the police.<\/p>\n
The man left Singapore after the second round of alleged thefts but was arrested on Sep 25 while transiting through the airport again.<\/p>\n
He will be charged on Thursday with five counts of theft in dwelling.<\/p>\n
Those convicted of the offence face up to seven years’ jail, a fine or both.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
