SINGAPORE - A man has been arrested by the police for allegedly stealing six cans of abalone worth $416.80 in total from a supermarket in VivoCity last Wednesday.
The 54 year-old suspect was nabbed by officers in Tampines on Monday, after they reviewed close-circuit television (CCTV) footage and conducted extensive ground enquiries to establish his identity, the police said in a news release on Tuesday.
The man will be charged in court for theft on Wednesday.
In its news release, the police reminded retail outlets to be "extra vigilant against shop thieves during the festive period, especially when large crowds throng the shopping malls and supermarkets for festive goods".
