While in transit at Changi Airport, a dentist went to two stores to steal a luxury brand card holder and a bottle of perfume, which together cost more than $750. His engineer wife kept a lookout during one such incident.<\/p>\n

American nationals Kapadia Husain Zoher, 35, and Kapadia Amatullah, 30, committed the offences while they were waiting for their connecting flight to India on June 23.<\/p>\n

The married couple managed to board the Mumbai-bound plane but were caught before it took off.<\/p>\n

On Aug 4, he was sentenced to 18 days’ jail after he pleaded guilty to a theft charge.<\/p>\n

His wife, who pleaded guilty to a similar charge, was sentenced to a week in jail.<\/p>\n

At around 5pm on June 23, Kapadia Husain Zoher entered a Louis Vuitton store at the airport’s Terminal 1, said State Prosecuting Officer (SPO) Ng Chee Wee.<\/p>\n

The couple then went to Cosmetics & Perfumes by The Shilla at the airport’s Terminal 3 shortly before 5.40pm that day.<\/p>\n

Kapadia Husain Zoher then took a bottle of Dior Sauvage perfume worth around $160 and slipped it into his pocket, while his wife acted as a lookout. They left the scene soon after without paying for it.<\/p>\n

A CCTV camera inside the store also caught him stealing the item.<\/p>\n

SPO Ng said: “(Kapadia Husain Zoher) had stolen the case holder out of greed. He had a habit of overspending, and he did not want to pay for the case holder.”<\/p>\n

Both stolen items were recovered and returned to the respective stores.<\/p>\n

For each count of theft, an offender can be jailed for up to seven years and fined.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
