Caught with a shirt and a pant...
A guy found out the hard way that it was really so not worth to shoplift from a departmental store since with all the surveillance cameras installed all around in the premises to catch a crook like him.
The incident happened around 7.15pm at the Parkson Grand store at Crowne Plaza Riverside when a store employee spotted the 26-year-old local man stealing a T-shirt and a pair of trouser, worth a total of RM80, and placing the items inside a backpack.
Fast reaction by members of the public resulted in the arrest of a shoplifter who had fled a departmental store with stolen clothes on Monday.
A male employee then alerted his supervisor, who checked the CCTV security footage which confirmed the theft, and both waited for the man to exit the store before going after him.
The suspect took off toward the main entrance when he realised he was being cornered as the supervisor called out to several members of the public to stop the fleeing thief.
A number of them responded and chased the suspect to the main road where they finally caught him across the road at Sarawak Plaza, not far from the vicinity.
Police arrived at the scene and recovered the stolen items before taking the suspect to the Simpang Tiga police station.
