SINGAPORE \u2013 A man who stole three bottles of Chanel perfume at Changi Airport and left Singapore in 2025 was arrested almost a year later, when he tried to enter the country again.<\/p>\n
On Nov 6, American citizen Kai Clifford Hiroshi, 48, was sentenced to 21 days\u2019 jail after pleading guilty to two theft charges.<\/p>\n
Kai committed the offences on Nov 4, 2025, when he arrived at Changi Airport Terminal 3 for his flight to San Francisco.<\/p>\n
At around 7.40pm, he went to a Shilla Cosmetics and Perfumes outlet and took a bottle of Chanel perfume valued at $331 from the display shelf and quickly left.<\/p>\n
Less than an hour later, he went to another Shilla outlet at the same terminal and stole two bottles of perfume worth a total of $453.<\/p>\n
Both thefts were not immediately discovered by the store employees, and Kai boarded his flight.<\/p>\n
The next day, the store employees noticed that the perfume bottles were missing and checked CCTV footage, which showed Kai stealing the items. A police report was lodged.<\/p>\n
On Sept 25, 2026, Kai was arrested when he landed at Changi Airport. He admitted to the thefts and was charged in court.<\/p>\n
The court heard that he has since made full restitution, although the stolen perfume bottles have not been recovered.<\/p>\n
Those convicted of theft in dwelling can be jailed for up to seven years and are liable to a fine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
