A local woman has been arrested for stealing goods from a pharmacy in the northern district, Public Security Police (PSP) spokesman Wong Chi Weng said at a press conference yesterday.
The suspect in her thirties is surnamed Ng. She told the police that she’s jobless.
According to Wong, on Thursday the police received a report from the pharmacy saying that Ng had exited the shop with goods, she had not paid for, worth 3,500 patacas. The stolen goods included medicines as well as health and skincare products.
The police soon identified the suspect and summoned Ng to a police station for questioning. She admitted to stealing the goods out of greed.
Ng has been transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office (MP), facing a theft charge, according to Wong.
