The thief made away with the handbags left in different unattended trolleys between 12pm and 12.45pm. In the first case, a 46-year-old housewife was shopping for groceries when she noticed her handbag was missing as she approached the cashier.
She lost S$200, RM$70, her handphone and other personal belongings. The second, a 33-year-old housewife, had placed her daughter in the trolley seat, and hung her handbag in the trolley. When she was not looking, her four-year-old saw a woman take her mother's handbag, containing $50 and other personal documents.
A search for the thief was made, but to no avail. The woman is described as dark-complexioned, slim and short haired. Anyone with information should call the police at 1800-255-000. The police advise the public not to leave their belongings unattended.
