Quoted.lizgrant wrote:My friend (mid-20's, male, Filipino) was caught shoplifting in Mustafa last Saturday, Jan 16. He took two bottles of perfume (total ~160SGD, was caught, and detained for 16 hours. He got off via personal bail as he doesn't know any locals yet. In his statement, he declared that he tried stealing the perfumes as he planned to resell them online for extra cash as he is running low on funds. His S Pass was only very recently released (before the incident). He was asked to return to the station after two weeks. What must he do? What punishment is he facing? Can he get off on warning only? Will the police inform his employer? Thanks!
PS: He is a professional, with no previous records here or his own country. He told the inspector that he is deeply sorry and remorseful.
I think Mustafa has or used to have a lot of problem with ppl like the OP ('s friend). Do they still lock bags with the cable ties?ecureilx wrote:And reading the story described by the OP, the prosecutors most likely will play the theme that it was a well planned heist and it's likely that it wasn't the first time .....sundaymorningstaple wrote:Mustafa tends to go for the Jugular vein in shoplifting cases, so It's doesn't bode well.

Agreed, the Mustafa people are known to send clear messages and it won't turn up well.

no but i think they all smell like shit.x9200 wrote:$80 per vial is a cheap perfume? Or you give a credit to OP for his friend's stealing skills and think it was 2l per bottle (and that's only why he got caught falling under 10% mentioned by Ecu)?
Is it only me who is always tempted to make a high-five with this guy?rajagainstthemachine wrote:i found him
