Brit businessman fined for Christmas shoplifting
By Khushwant Singh
HE WAS caught stealing four bottles of Heineken beer from a 7-Eleven store in River Valley Road on Christmas Day.
Released on bail, Antony Karl Pugh, 32, was at it again a day later.
A store security officer saw the British businessman opening and drinking a 187ml bottle of Jacob's Creek wine in the NTUC Fairprice store in City Square Mall in Kitchener Road.
Pugh then attempted to leave the store carrying a bag of five oranges and a big bottle of Rosemount wine stuffed in the back pocket of his jeans, without paying for any of the items.
In court on Friday, Pugh, who arrived here on Dec 11, said he was intoxicated. He was fined $1,000.
