Owner only noticed shoes were missing when packing for a trip
Two girls were caught on CCTV allegedly stealing shoes from a shoe cabinet outside an HDB unit in Hougang.
Based on the footage, the incident occurred in the early hours of 13 May.
However, the owner discovered the theft only when she attempted to pack for a trip and noticed that the shoes were missing.

It is unclear exactly how many items were taken, as the footage was obscured by the cabinet.

The owner then claims that the pair had taken her “favourite pair” of shoes.
“I’m actually too upset to even be mad,” they added.
