SINGAPORE, Oct 9 — A woman was jailed for a week after shoplifting at a Sheng Siong supermarket outlet on 12 separate occasions in a span of four months.
Leong Seek Yuen, 45, was finally caught on October 1, 2025, thanks to a facial recognition CCTV system deployed at the store, which sent out an alert to a staff member when it detected Leong's entry that day.
The Singaporean woman was sentenced yesterday after pleading guilty to theft.
Between May 27 and August 12, 2025, Leong stole meat products and beverages from the same Sheng Siong outlet in Sin Ming Avenue.
The court heard that Leong utilised the self-checkout kiosk during each shopping trip, reported The Straits Times.
