A security officer who was assigned to Bedok Mall stole from a shop while on her security rounds, a court heard.

At the State Courts on Thursday (7 March), Thurga Ellan was fined $2,000 after she pleaded guilty to one charge of theft. If she fails to pay the fine she will have to serve 10 days in jail.

The 27-year-old Malaysian was employed by Certis Cisco and assigned to the shopping mall. On 4 January, just after midnight, Thurga took a break while doing her rounds near the atrium at basement 2.

Health and beauty store Watsons had just held a sale at the atrium and used a cloth to cover the cosmetics section of its products there.

Thurga went under the cloth, took several items and hid them in her pockets. The stolen items totaled $316.98 included lipsticks, eyeliner, blushes, eyeshadow, foundation, lip pencils and a makeup brush. She then continued on her security rounds.

The incident was captured on the mall’s CCTV. A Watsons sales manager called the police about the missing items the same afternoon. All the stolen items were later recovered.

Thurga was arrested on 8 January when she reported for duty at work. She admitted to the theft.

The maximum penalty for theft is up to three years’ jail along with a fine.
