Two persons, who <\/span>allegedly stole on <\/span>a combined 33 occasions<\/span> from a Sheng Siong supermarket in Sembawang, are among 11 people to be charged in court on Nov 16 and 18 for their involvement in separate cases of shop theft.\u00a0<\/p>\n In a news release on Sunday (Nov 15), police said the duo, a 26-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man, are believed to have stolen multiple items from Sheng Siong’s outlet along Sembawang Crescent.<\/p>\n The acts were purportedly committed between July 30 and Oct 15, with total losses amounting to about $960.<\/p>\n Police said the <\/span>woman is believed to have been involved in all 33 cases, of which 21 were committed together with the man.<\/p>\n The woman was detected at the outlet on Oct 15 through Sheng Siong’s facial recognition closed-circuit television (CCTV) system<\/a>.<\/p>\n Through follow-up investigations and with the aid of CCTV footage and police cameras, investigators established their identities and arrested both suspects on the same day.<\/span><\/p>\n The 26-year-old woman will be charged with two counts of amalgamated theft in dwelling, while the man will be charged with one count of amalgamated theft in dwelling.<\/p>\n The charges will reflect that they had acted with common intention for the offences committed together, the police stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n Among the seven other cases highlighted by the police was a case involving a 40-year-old man who allegedly stole multiple bottles of liquor worth about $1,050 from an NTUC FairPrice outlet at 478 Upper Serangoon View.<\/p>\n The said address is the location of Hougang Capeview, a 781-unit HDB Build-To-Order (BTO) project completed in 2015.<\/p>\n According to the police, the alleged theft incidents took place between March 13 and 30.<\/p>\n He was detained by a staff member when he returned to the outlet on March 31 and subsequently arrested by officers who attended to the incident.<\/p>\n Police said the man had previously been issued a 12-month conditional warning for a separate case of shop theft at NTUC FairPrice Jurong East along Jurong Gateway Road in August 2025.<\/p>\n In that case, the 40-year-old allegedly stole pack of durian and a knife amounting to about $43.<\/p>\n He will face one charge of amalgamated theft in dwelling and one count of theft in dwelling.<\/p>\n The remaining highlighted cases took place at a deli, departmental store, pharmacies, and another NTUC FairPrice supermarket.<\/p>\n Those found guilty of theft in dwelling could face imprisonment of up to seven years and a fine.<\/p>\n Amid the year-end school holidays and festive period, t<\/span>he police reminded members of the public to ensure payment is made for all items that they intend to purchase, especially at self-checkout kiosks.<\/p>\n They <\/span>noted that CCTV cameras \u2014 <\/span>several of which have facial recognition capabilities \u2014 help <\/span>retailers detect offenders and enable the police to identify and arrest them more quickly, even if <\/span>they evade detection at the time of the offence.<\/span><\/p>\n Retail outlets are also reminded to remain vigilant and to take proactive measures to deter shop theft.<\/p>\n [[nid:751197]]<\/span><\/p>\n editor@asiaone.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Two persons, who allegedly stole on a combined 33 occasions from a Sheng
