A 37-YEAR-OLD snatch thief was caught on Monday at Jalan Bukit Merah. He is believed to be responsible for two cases of snatch theft.
In the first case, the 30-year-old female victim entered the lift with the suspect, who suddenly grabbed her handbag and purse just as she stepped out of the lift on the 13th floor.
The victim asked him to return her purse, which he did after taking $22 dollars cash from it, and even apologised before fleeing.
The second case was reported on Dec 13. The suspect snatched the purse of a 61-year-old woman who was waiting with her 32-year-old daughter in the lift lobby of Blk 7 Jalan Bukit Merah.
He later returned the purse when the victim's daughter pursued and detained him but still managed to escape.
