An assistant store manager at Waterway Point’s Uniqlo recognised two suspected shoplifters when they returned weeks after an earlier incident, having memorised their appearance from CCTV footage.
The employee, identified as Catherine, then acted to detain them.
Punggol Neighbourhood Police Centre commended her in a Facebook post on 19 October.
Recognised Them From Earlier Footage
She had studied CCTV footage from an earlier theft at the store and memorised what the two suspects looked like.
When the pair came back weeks later, she recognised them immediately. According to the police, her quick action stopped the pair from committing more thefts.
Police Praise Her Vigilance
In its tribute, the police centre said Catherine “demonstrated exceptional vigilance, courage, and keen memory”.
It also commended her powers of observation and commitment to preventing crime.
