He looked around for a while as passers-by walked behind him.

As people continued strolling by, he removed the speaker, which was hanging by its strap.

He then quietly left the shop.

In a comment on one of the posts, the shop said that this happened at Block 374 Bukit Batok Street 31, which is near Bukit Gombak MRT station.

Shop says man could have just asked for speaker

The shop asked netizens whether they knew the man, describing him as “daring to steal in broad daylight”.

It also claimed that if he wanted it, he could have “just said so”, asking:

Why did you have to steal it?

In response to queries from MS News, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) confirmed that a report had been lodged over the incident, and investigations are ongoing.
