Singapore has charged a British man for theft more than two years after he allegedly made away with a denim jacket from a store at the airport shopping mall.
The police were alerted to the theft in the evening of 14 August 2024 when a retail assistant at Singapore’s Changi Airport realised a blue denim jacket was missing from a display mannequin.
Surveillance footage showed a man removing the jacket, worth about S$350 ($275; £202), from the mannequin and leaving the store without making payment. By the time the authorities established his identity, the man had departed Singapore.
The 26-year-old was arrested on 15 August this year while in transit at the airport and was charged on Tuesday.
