Newspaper thief caught
By Daryl Chin
A 29-year-old man was arrested by police early on Thursday morning while trying to steal newspapers from a drop-off point in Bukit Batok Central.
Newspaper vendors operating in the vicinity had reported to police and Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) after discovering 2,400 copies of The Straits Times' Life! and classified sections missing over the previous two nights.
The culprit was eventually caught in an ambush set up near the newspaper drop point.
Said Mr Chua Wee Phong, Executive Vice-President of SPH's Circulation Department: 'The theft has inconvenienced our readers and subscribers who did not receive their newspapers. Once we received the tip-off from vendors, the team acted immediately to replace the stolen newspaper copies.
'We would like to assure our readers and subscribers that we will go all out to help them get their daily newspapers on time,' he added.
Police investigations are ongoing.
