A 35-year-old Australian woman has been arrested and charged for allegedly stealing from a duty-free store in Changi Airport’s transit area, more than two years after the incident occurred.

On 23 March 2023, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) was alerted to a suspected case of shop theft after a bottle of perfume valued at $248 went missing from The Shilla Duty-Free Perfume and Cosmetics Shop located in the transit area of Changi Airport Terminal 1.

Officers from the Airport Police Division conducted ground enquiries and used CCTV footage to identify the Australian woman as the suspect.
