</noscript>This comes after nearly S$8m worth of watches were stolen from the Cortina outlet at Raffles City last December. Mr Jerry Ee has been put on the wanted list and has been flagged with a red notice. This means the 35—year—old can be arrested by any of Interpol’s 187 member countries and extradited back to Singapore. Mr Ee has been listed as being conversant in English, Mandarin and Thai. The notice has given his height as 1.62 metres and his weight at 50 kilogrammes. Mr Ee has been missing since the theft was discovered.

Re: S’porean wanted by Interpol in connection with Cortina theft

It is easier to render their assistance because our Commissioner of Police, Khoo Boon Hui, is the president of INTERPOL.

Interpol issues RED ALERT means this joker already left Singapore.Just heard over the radio, the joker was missing since 5th Jan but the incident was discovered after x'mas.
Looks like anyone who had committed a crime and leave Singapore will be sought by INTERPOL since the Police Commissioner is the Interpol Chairman.Criminals be aware!!!! you can run,but you cannot hide, every corner, there wil be somebody watching you.

FORMER Cortina Watch supervisor Jerry Ee allegedly started stealing from his employer from as far back as November 2006. The 35-year-old man is said to have misappropriated a $40,000 Patek Philippe - not from his last place of work at Cortina's Raffles City branch - but from another outlet at Paragon.

These details emerged from the 12 fresh charges made against him yesterday, which date his alleged crimes back to Nov 29, 2006. This is the third time that Ee has been brought to court to face accusations since his return from Bangkok on March 19.
On March 21, he faced a single charge of criminal breach of trust for pocketing $27,137 in cash and 386 watches valued at $8.5 million from the Raffles City outlet.

Then last Friday, it emerged for the first time that the divorcee, who has an 11-year-old son, might have been pilfering from his employer even before that. He was slapped with 11 more charges for pocketing 11 Rolex watches worth $203,175 between May and December last year. Yesterday's set of charges involving 15 timepieces totalling $442,221 in value means the alleged loot was actually worth about $9.2 million. Ee, who speaks English, Mandarin and Thai, began working for Cortina Watch in April 2004 as a customer relations associate at its Raffles City branch. He handled customer inquiries, merchandise displays, pricing and inventory.
